Question
Define displacement current.

Answer

Displacement current is the current which comes into existence in a region where the electric field (and electric flux) is changing with time. It is given by $I_d=\in_0 \frac{d \Phi_E}{d t}$.

When a body is weighed on an ordinary balance we demand that the arm should be horizontal if the weights on the two pans are equal.

Is the total torque zero? If so, why does the arm rotate and finally become horizontal?
