If you find closed loops of `vecB` in a region in space, does it necessarily mean that actual charges are flowing across the area bounded by the loops ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Not necessarily. A displacement current (such
as that between the plates of a charging
capacitor) can also produce loops of `vecB`.
