No, I mean Ampère's Law. It fails for a charging or discharging capacitor. Ohm's Law holds.

Oh, pre-Maxwell, I see. I just automatically include Maxwell's correction when I think about Ampere.

And Ohm's Law V = IR is misleading since it's not valid in a moving reference frame. (I've gotten in trouble once or twice with a knee-jerk V=IR reaction) The current density J = sig (E + v x B) is prefferred.
