NEET 2025 Physics Displacement Current MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

A parallel plate capacitor made of circular plates is being charged such that the surface charge density on its plates is increasing at a constant rate with time. The magnetic field arising due to displacement current is:

A

zero at all places

B

constant between the plates and zero outside the plates

C

non-zero everywhere with maximum at the imaginary cylindrical surface connecting peripheries of the plates

D

zero between the plates and non-zero outside

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The displacement current creates a magnetic field similar to a real current. The field is non-zero everywhere and is maximum at the cylindrical surface connecting the edges of the plates.
