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