NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 12

What is the nature of the current inside a parallel plate capacitor according to Maxwell's theory?

A

Only displacement current exists.

B

Only conduction current exists.

C

Both conduction and displacement current exist equally.

D

Neither conduction nor displacement current exists.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Inside the capacitor, there is no conduction current (i_c = 0) and only displacement current exists, which is equal to the current flowing through the capacitor (i_d = i).
