Statement I: Displacement current goes through the gap between the plates of a capacitor when the charge of the capacitor does not change. Statement II: The displacement current arises in the region in which the electric field and hence the electric flux remains constant with time.

Displacement current arises when electric field in a region is changing with time. ID=ε0 (d φE/d t) It will be so if the charge on a capacitor is not constant but changing with time.

Q. Statement I: Displacement current goes through the gap between the plates of a capacitor when the charge of the capacitor does not change.
Statement II: The displacement current arises in the region in which the electric field and hence the electric flux remains constant with time.

If both statements are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.

If both statements are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I.

If statement I is true but statement II is false.

If both statements are false.

Displacement current arises when electric field in a region is changing with time.
$I_{D} = ε_{0} \frac{d ϕ _{E}}{d t}$
It will be so if the charge on a capacitor is not constant but changing with time.
