Ampere's Law and Displacement Current: Practice Problem & Solution

Displacement current is same as:
conduction current due to flow of free electron
conduction current due to flow of positive ions
conduction current due to flow of both positive and negative free charge carriers
is not a conduction current but is caused by time varying electric field

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Ampere's Law and Displacement Current. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Displacement current represents the rate of change of electric displacement field and is not caused by real movement of charges like conduction current.
