The displacement current, $I_d$, through a capacitor can be calculated using the formula $I_d = C \frac{dV}{dt}$, where $C$ is the capacitance and $\frac{dV}{dt}$ is the rate of change of voltage across the capacitor. Substituting the given values, $C = 10.0 \, mF = 10.0 \times 10^{-3} \, F$ and $\frac{dV}{dt} = 120 \, V/s$, we get $I_d = 10.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 120 = 1.20 \, A$.
