On displacement current: If you assume that for all the copper surfaces the tangential electric field is zero and that there is only a normal E-field component (which gives rise to the copper surface charge density) then you could visualize the displacement current. It is the time derivative of the E-field in that same direction. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Aaditya Kandibanda Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2012 8:36 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Direction of displacement curent Hello everyone, Can you please let me know what will be the direction of displacement current on the traces of PCB, I am trying to understand it for analysis of near and far end cross talk on PCB traces. the problem is, when there is a equal distribution of capacitance along the length of 2 PCB traces? what will be the direction of displacement current? If possible can some one briefly let me know about the near end and far end cross talk? I am trying to understand it, I see different authors express it in different views which is confusing me as a novice.
