NEET Physics EM Spectrum Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): The displacement current is responsible for generating magnetic fields in the same way as conduction current. | Reason (R): Displacement current occurs only in regions with static electric fields.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true, but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The assertion is true because displacement current acts as a source of magnetic fields just like conduction current. However, the reason is false because displacement current occurs in regions with time-varying electric fields, not static fields.
