Question

Distinguish between conduction current and displacement current

Answer 1

Answer:

Note that the conduction current is due to the flow of electrons, whereas the displacement current is due to displacement of electrons in a time-varying electric field. The importance of displacement current lies in maintaining a continuity to the path of current flow through the capacitor.

Answer 2

Conduction current is the electric current that flows through a conductor because of an applied potential difference. Displacement current ID is the current that is included to explain the magnetic field inside the capacitor due to mounting up of charges on its plates.
