Physics-Maxwell's Equations

NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): Displacement current is essential for the continuity of a magnetic field in a capacitor circuit. | Reason (R): The magnetic field between capacitor plates is only due to conduction current.

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 as the displacement current is necessary for maintaining the continuity of the magnetic field in a capacitor circuit. However, the reason is false as the magnetic field is also due to the displacement current, not just the conduction current.
