Physics-Maxwell's Equations

NEET Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

Which of the following statements about Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic waves is correct?

A

Maxwell's equations show that time-varying electric fields create magnetic fields, leading to electromagnetic waves.

B

Gauss's Law for magnetism indicates that magnetic monopoles exist, allowing for independent magnetic fields.

C

Ampere's Law states that only static currents generate magnetic fields, ignoring displacement current effects.

D

Faraday’s Law suggests that electromagnetic waves cannot propagate through a vacuum due to the absence of materials.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Maxwell's equations demonstrate the interplay between time-varying electric and magnetic fields, confirming that changing electric fields can indeed generate magnetic fields, which leads to the formation of electromagnetic waves.
