NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about displacement current and conduction current in a parallel plate capacitor is correct?
Inside the capacitor, conduction current is zero while displacement current equals the total current.
Displacement current is always equal to the conduction current in any region of space.
Outside the capacitor, displacement current is present while conduction current equals zero.
Displacement current can exist without a time-varying electric field in the capacitor.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Inside the capacitor, there is no conduction current, hence conduction current is zero, and the displacement current equals the total current flowing through the capacitor as per Maxwell's equations.
