Physics-Maxwell's Equations
NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): A time-varying electric field can produce a magnetic field. | Reason (R): The Ampere-Maxwell Law incorporates displacement current to account for magnetic fields in regions where there is a time-varying electric field.
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, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The assertion and reason are both grounded in Maxwell's equations. The Ampere-Maxwell Law corrects Ampere's circuital law by including the displacement current term, explaining the production of magnetic fields by time-varying electric fields.
