NEET Physics EM Spectrum Assertion Reason Question
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.
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
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.
