NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Maxwell's equations in vacuum predict the existence of electromagnetic waves. | Reason (R): The displacement current is a source of magnetic 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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Maxwell's equations show that time-dependent electric and magnetic fields give rise to each other, leading to electromagnetic waves. The displacement current is a key factor in this relationship.
