Imagine a wire connected to a charging or discharging capacitor. The area in the Amperian
loop could be stretched into the open region of the capacitor. In this case there would be current
passing through the loop, but not through the area p g g p gbounded by the loop.

If Ampere’s Law still holds, there must be a magnetic field generated by the changing E-fieldmagnetic field generated by the changing E field
between the plates. This induced B-field makes it look like there is a current (call it the displacementlook like there is a current (call it the displacement
current) passing through the plates.
