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 maintaining continuity in the magnetic field within a parallel plate capacitor. | Reason (R): Displacement current arises from the time-varying electric field between the plates of a capacitor.

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

Both the assertion and reason are true; the displacement current arises due to the changing electric field, which is necessary to maintain a continuous magnetic field in the capacitor.
