NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Which of the following statements about electromagnetic waves and displacement current is correct?
A
Inside a capacitor, only displacement current exists and conduction current is zero.
B
Outside a capacitor, both conduction and displacement currents are present.
C
The displacement current is equal to the conduction current at all points between capacitor plates.
D
Displacement current cannot generate a magnetic field in the absence of conduction current.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Inside a capacitor, there is no conduction current, hence only the displacement current exists, as stated in the NCERT context. This emphasizes the distinction between the two types of currents in different regions around a capacitor.
