Diagram showing a current labeled i charging a capacitor, with side-by-side panels. Each panel displays a blue arrow representing current flowing toward two capacitor plates-one with positive and one with negative charges. Large purple surfaces labeled P and S1 or S2 illustrate different surfaces intersecting the current path, representing Maxwell's displacement current in electromagnetism.
