A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery through a resistor. If \(i\) is the current in the circuit, then in the gap between the plates:
1. displacement current of magnitude equal to \(i\) flows in the same direction as \(i\).
2. displacement current of magnitude equal to \(i\) flows in a direction opposite to that of \(i\).
3. displacement current of magnitude greater than \(i\) flows but can be in any direction.
4. there is no current.
