NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12
A diagram shows a parallel plate capacitor with a time-dependent current flowing through it. Which component of Maxwell's equations accounts for the magnetic field between the capacitor plates?
A
Displacement current
B
Conduction current
C
Gauss's law for electricity
D
Faraday's law
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Maxwell introduced the concept of displacement current to resolve the inconsistency in Ampere's circuital law when applied to a capacitor. This displacement current accounts for the magnetic field between the plates.
