An ideal capacitor has two conducting plate that separated by a distance L, where two plates can have opposite charges (+q and -q). However, in a capacitor, current can flow through this device. Maxwell inserted one term la = €0 to solve the problem. Prove this term is indeed current (has the unit dt %3D of Coulomb/sec).
