NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question
Consider a parallel plate capacitor with electric and magnetic fields inside it. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the nature of currents involved according to Maxwell's theory?
Inside the capacitor, only the conduction current is present.
Inside the capacitor, both conduction and displacement currents are present.
Inside the capacitor, only the displacement current is present.
Inside the capacitor, neither conduction nor displacement current is present.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Maxwell's theory, inside a parallel plate capacitor, there is no conduction current (i_c = 0), but there is a displacement current (i_d = i), as a result of the changing electric field.
