NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question
What does Maxwell’s displacement current contribute to the behavior of electromagnetic fields?
It generates a magnetic field due to a changing electric field.
It only exists in the presence of conduction currents.
It is negligible in the absence of a physical current.
It solely describes electric field behavior in capacitors.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Maxwell’s displacement current is significant as it shows that a changing electric field generates a magnetic field, which is a fundamental aspect of electromagnetic waves.
