Physics-Maxwell's Equations

NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): Maxwell's equations suggest that a time-varying electric field can generate a magnetic field. | Reason (R): The Ampere-Maxwell law includes a term for displacement current which accounts for this effect.

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
