When the capacitor is charging and discharging, current flows through the wires creating a magnetic field, but between the plates of the capacitor, there is no current flowing. According to Ampere's law there can be no magnetic field created by the current here, but we know that magnetic field does in fact exist. Maxwell realized this discrepancy in Ampere's law, and added the following term to Ampere's Law to resolve the issue.Equation is given in your ncert book.This final form of the equation is known as the Maxwell-Ampere Law, and the part Maxwell added to it is what we call displacement current.
