noun
displacement current
Physics term; the current that arises from a changing electric field, as in Maxwell's equations.
変位電流は、コンデンサの極板間でも流れると考えることができる。
Displacement current can be thought of as flowing even between the plates of a capacitor.
Conduction current is the flow of actual charge carriers, while displacement current is a changing electric field treated as a current.
Compound of 変位 (displacement) + 電流 (electric current), a direct translation of the English physics term.
