NEET Physics EM Spectrum Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): A time-varying electric field can generate a magnetic field.
Reason (R): Maxwell suggested an inconsistency in Ampere’s circuital law which led to this conclusion.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Maxwell proposed that a time-varying electric field generates a magnetic field, resolving the inconsistency he found in Ampere's circuital law, as mentioned in the NCERT context.
