Terry, this is exactly the experimental set up I proposed.  So, has it been 
done?  Probably easier to drive a flat plate air capacitor since air 
dielectric constant  is near one.  While I'm not an expert on the mythical 
"displacement current" (shudder), which way are they suppose to flow.  With 
or against normal circuit flow?  BTW, as a control one should measure the 
current flow in the leads up to the capacitor and compare it with the 
Pearson "displacement current".

No flaw here since you're are not measuring a "magnetic field" produced by a 
displacement current.  You're measuring just plain good old electrostatics 
in an air capacitor.  Some would say produced by longitudinal currents.  :-) 
  Does anyone dispute there are longitudinal compression like ES forces in 
capacitors?
