Abstract
The charging capacitor is the standard textbook and classroom example for explaining the concept of the so-called Maxwell displacement current. A certain aspect of the problem, however, is often overlooked. It concerns the conditions for satisfaction of the Faraday-Henry law inside the capacitor. Expressions for the electromagnetic field are derived that properly satisfy all four of Maxwell’s equations in that region.
