Question
How is displacement current produced between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor during charging?
✓
Answer
Conduction current is established by actual movement of free electrons through a metallic conductor while displacement current is established by polarization of molecules of a dielectric under the influence of an external electric field. Displacement current is produced by time varying electric flux and electric field across the dielectric medium between capacitor plates that leads to polarization and displacement of charges.
