Physics-Maxwell's Equations
NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Which of the following statements about Maxwell's Equations is correct?
A
Maxwell's equations indicate that a changing electric field can produce a magnetic field.
B
Maxwell's equations state that electric fields can only be produced by electric currents.
C
Maxwell's equations show that magnetic fields do not affect electric fields.
D
Maxwell's equations imply that electromagnetic waves can only propagate in a vacuum.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Maxwell's equations indeed establish that a time-varying electric field generates a magnetic field, demonstrating the interdependence of electric and magnetic fields. This is key to the understanding of electromagnetic waves.
