NEET 2024, Physics Q39: Capacitors And Capacitance

NEET2024Physics
Q.

A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery through a resistor. If is the current in the circuit, then in the gap between the plates:

  1. A

    displacement current of magnitude equal to flows in a direction opposite to that of .

  2. B

    displacement current of magnitude greater than flows but can be in any direction.

  3. C

    there is no current.

  4. D

    displacement current of magnitude equal to flows in the same direction as .

Solution

Maxwell's displacement current equals the conduction current in magnitude and direction, ensuring continuity of current around the circuit even across the capacitor gap.
