Expert Answer:
Let us consider charging a parallel plate capacitor as shown in figure.
Let us consider an Amperian loop across the conductor .
This amperian loop can be boundary to a flat surface or a baloon like surface as shown in figure.
In the flat surface , Ampere's law is written as
...................................(1)
where Ic is conduction current.
If the balloon like surface encloses only displacement current Id inside capacitor plates then
........................(2)
Subscript S in the integral represents surface integration performed over baloon like surface
Electric field inside capacitor E is given as
where σ is charge density , Q is charge at an instant of time t and A is area of plates
.......................................(3)
From eqn.(2) and eqn.(3) , we get
...............................(4)
Above equation is same as eqn.(1)
Hence magnetic field produced by conduction current and magnetic field produced by
displacement current at the edge of capacitor are same
