Assertion : Displacement current goes th...

Assertion : Displacement current goes through the gap between the plates of a capacitor when the charge of the capacitor does not charge
Reason : The displacement current arises in the region in which the electric field is constant with time.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Displacement current arises when electric field in a region is changing with time, which is given by
`I_(D)=epsilon_(0)(dphi_(E))/(dt)`.
It will be so if the charge on a capacitor is not constant but changing with time.
