    Answer: (b) Ampere’s law

    Maxwell pointed out the inconsistency of the Ampere’s circuital law, when this law was applied to an electric circuit having a capacitor, the law appeared wrong or incomplete. Because no current was assumed in the space between the plates of capacitor. Maxwell said that there is also a current flow, in the space between the plates of a capacitor due to time varying electric field between the plates. Maxwell named this current as displacement current (). This concept makes a continuous flow of current in an electric circuit containing a capacitor.

    Now the improved Ampere’s law, called Ampere-Maxwell’s law
