NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): The displacement current inside a capacitor is equal to the conduction current outside. | Reason (R): Ampere's circuital law without the displacement current term leads to inconsistencies when applied to a capacitor.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that inside a capacitor there is only displacement current (i_d = i), while outside there is only conduction current (i_c = i). The inconsistency arises from using Ampere's law without accounting for displacement current.
