One thing that I don't intuitively get about these currents is that in the conduction current the electric field is supposed to be static at each point of the conductor(there is no assumption of current intensity change), whilst the displacement current is defined as a varying electric field, the assumption is made of building up and decreasing electric fields, both current types producing a magnetic field and both being computed and measured in terms of Amperes(C/s) i.e. a steady current intensity.
Why is not the conduction current also thought of as a time-varying E field?
