The displacement current was first populated by

1. Maxwell
2. Marconi
3. Ampere
4. Hertz

Correct answer: Maxwell

Solution

James Clerk Maxwell introduced the concept of displacement current to account for changing electric fields and to make Ampère’s law consistent with charge conservation. This was a key addition in his electromagnetic theory.
