Question:

Maxwell in his famous equation of electromagnetism introduced the concept

Options:

AC current

DC current

Displacement current

Impedance

Correct Answer:

Displacement current

Explanation:
Maxwell explained the concept of displacement current using the case of a capacitor. That is when a capacitor starts charging, there is no charge conduction between the fields. However, due to charge accumulation in the plates with time, electric field changes causing the displacement current.
