We know that magnetic fields are generated by moving electrons so there is a magnetic field between the plates of a capacitor due to the displacement current when it charges up. I don't understand why there is no magnetic field on the plate of a capacitor when it is fully charged because electrons are supposed to have a magnetic moment or field of their own and I would have thought that the increased density of electrons on the capacitor plate would exhibit a magnetic field.
