What my professor is telling us that there is no conduction current through a parallel plate capacitor but the current that is passing through capacitor is the displacement current and this phenomena can be seen in one of the Maxwell's equation. What I know about displacement current is that there is no charge movement in displacement current but I am so confused with that. Can some one explain me the displacement current and how does it work in parallel plate capacitor?
