Kirchhoff`s Forgotten Contributions to Electromagnetism: Continuity Equation versus Displacement Currents
Xavier Oriols, Robert Eisenberg, David K. Ferry
In 1857, Kirchhoff published two seminal papers on the motion of electricity in wires. In that work, he was the first to derive what we now call the telegrapher`s equations, which…

Displacement Current in Classical and Quantum Systems
David K. Ferry, Xavier Oriols, Robert Eisenberg
It is certain that electrical properties-whether slow (sec) or fast (nsec), even optical (fsec)-are described by Maxwell's equations, and there are terms that depend on the rate of…
