Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the displacement current is given by $$I_{\rm disp}=\epsilon_0\dfrac{d\Phi_e}{dt}\tag 1$$ Recalling that the current density is given by $$J=\dfrac{I}{A}=\sigma E$$ So, $$I=A\sigma E$$ And for a current rate $dI/dt$, $$\dfrac{dI}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}(A\sigma E)$$ where $\sigma$ is a constant, $$\dfrac{dI}{dt}=\sigma\dfrac{d}{dt}(A E)$$ Recalling that $\Phi_e=AE$, hence $$\dfrac{dI}{dt}=\sigma\dfrac{d\Phi_e}{dt} $$ Plug from (1), $$\dfrac{dI}{dt}=\sigma\dfrac{I_{\rm disp}}{\epsilon_0} $$ Thus, $$\boxed{I_{\rm disp}=\dfrac{\epsilon_0}{\sigma}\dfrac{dI}{dt}}$$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ Plug the known into the boxed formula above. Recall that $\sigma$ here is for copper. $$ I_{\rm disp}=\dfrac{(8.85\times 10^{-12})}{(6\times 10^7)}(1\times 10^6) $$ $$ I_{\rm disp}=\color{red}{\bf 1.5\times 10^{-13}}\;\rm A$$
