The conduction current is same as displacement current when source is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Conduction current flows through a conductor, while displacement current appears in the region where the electric field changes with time (like between capacitor plates).
• For D.C. (Direct Current)
the electric field is constant 

So they are not equal.
For A.C. (Alternating Current)
the electric field changes with time
displacement current exists.
In a capacitor connected to an A.C. source, the displacement current between plates equals the conduction current in the wires, so that total current remains continuous.
