To differentiate between displacement current and conduction current, we can outline the key differences as follows: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition**: - **Conduction Current**: It is the current that results from the flow of charged particles (typically electrons) through a conductor. This flow occurs in response to an electric field. - **Displacement Current**: It is a term introduced by James Clerk Maxwell to account for the changing electric field in regions where there is no actual flow of charge, such as in a capacitor during charging or discharging. ...
