NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations about Maxwell's equations is correct?
Maxwell proposed that a time-varying electric field generates a magnetic field.
Maxwell's equations describe only static electric and magnetic fields.
The speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum is determined by the electric and magnetic fields.
Maxwell's equations do not account for displacement current.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Maxwell argued that not only an electric current but also a time-varying electric field generates a magnetic field, which is a fundamental aspect of his equations. Option B is incorrect as Maxwell's equations encompass dynamic fields. Option C, while partially true, does not explicitly mention the direct relation to Maxwell's equations. Option D is incorrect because displacement current is a critical component of Maxwell's equations.
