The total current in the Ampere Maxwell law is conduction current plus:

AAlternating currents
BPhotoelectric flow
CThermionic emission
DDisplacement current
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Displacement current
1. Ampere's law needed a second source term to stay consistent. 2. That term comes from the changing electric field. 3. So the total is conduction plus displacement current. 4. The answer is displacement current. _Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 8 'Electromagnetic Waves'_
