hello,

Help me to answer these questions:
Give the physical meaning of Maxwell equations (equations in the general case).

div D=ρ
div B=0
rotE=-∂B/∂t
rotH=∂D/∂t+J

i have second question:
What is the difference between conduction current and displacement current?
thankyou

Well, let's start with the physical meaning of the displacement and the operational effect of the divergence. What do you think of those two?
 
displacement current does not
obey ohm's law

i do not have any ideas
 
Truth be told, I don't see why you're not using the definition with E instead of D. What does the divergence of a field tell you about that field?
 
the electric field
 
To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
