B. Both 'A' and ’R' are true and 'R' is not the correct explanation of 'A
C. A' is true and 'R' is false
D. 'A' is false and R' is true

Answer

To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**:
- The assertion states that when a capacitor is being charged, the conduction current in the connecting wires is equal to the displacement current between the capacitor plates.
- This is based on Maxwell's concept of displacement current, which accounts for the changing electric field in the dielectric between the capacitor plates.

2. **Understanding the Displacement Current**:
- Displacement current (Id) is defined as:
\[ I_d = \epsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt} \]
where \(\Phi_E\) is the electric flux and \(\epsilon_0\) is the permittivity of free space.
- The displacement current arises due to the changing electric field in the capacitor when it is charged.

3. **Conduction Current in Wires**:
- The conduction current (Ic) in the wires is the actual flow of charge (electrons) through the conductive material.
- According to Kirchhoff's laws, the conduction current flowing into the capacitor must equal the displacement current flowing out of the capacitor.

4. **Applying Ampere's Law**:
- When applying Ampere's law, we can consider a closed loop that includes the conduction current in the wires and the displacement current in the capacitor.
- The law states that the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop is proportional to the total current (including both conduction and displacement currents) passing through the loop.

5. **Conclusion on Assertion (A)**:
- Since the conduction current in the wires is equal to the displacement current in the capacitor, the assertion (A) is true.

6. **Understanding the Reason (R)**:
- The reason states that the conduction current is always greater than the displacement current.
- This is incorrect because, during the charging of a capacitor, the conduction current is equal to the displacement current at any instant.

7. **Final Evaluation**:
- Therefore, the assertion (A) is true, while the reason (R) is false. The correct answer is that (A) is true and (R) is false.

### Final Answer:
- (A) is true and (R) is false.
