Antonio,
Can you give an experimental reference to this mysterious magnetic field around
this "displacement current"? Can we measure it magnetically? Could a small
flat plate capacitor placed in the center of a Pearson current transformer
measure this current? It can sure measure the current in the leads up to the
capacitor.
