Physics-Maxwell's Equations

NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): A time-varying electric field can generate a magnetic field. | Reason (R): Maxwell's displacement current is an additional term needed to correct the Ampere's circuital law for time-varying 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 A

Detailed Explanation

Maxwell introduced the displacement current to address the inconsistency in Ampere's circuital law for time-varying electric fields, which also generate magnetic fields.
