STANDARD Physics Maxwell's Equations MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which one among the following does not represent Maxwell's equation?

A

∮E·dA = q/ε₀

B

∮B·dA = 0

C

∮E·dl = -dΦB/dt

D

∮B·dl = μ₀Ic + μ₀ε₀ dΦE/dt

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Maxwell's equations are as follows: (i) ∮E·dA = q/ε₀ (Gauss's law of electricity), (ii) ∮B·dA = 0 (Gauss's law of magnetism), (iii) ∮E·dl = -dΦB/dt (Faraday's law), (iv) ∮B·dl = μ₀Ic + μ₀ε₀ dΦE/dt (Ampere - Maxwell law). The third option is incorrect as it represents Faraday's law, which is indeed a Maxwell equation.
