Bill,<><><>All that Alan, myself, and Michele have said is that if you have changing E fields then you have a dE/dt and by extension a dD/dt which is what most authors call "displacement current" (it has dimensions of amps per square metre). No amount of gainsaying by anyone is going to make this go away. If you have a quantity whose units are amps, then it is reasonable to call it a current I think. So we are back to mere semantics. You have made much mileage now out of your assertion, and at least some of the discussion has been illuminating. Thanks a lot. <><><> David.
