Verified by Experts

(a) Gamma Rays , Use : Treatment of cancer tumours.
(b) (i) Displacement current but no conduction current : Displacement current exists whenever there is a change of electric flux since electric charges do not flow through the insulation from one plate of a capacitor to other . So , there is no current inside the capacitor .
(ii) Conduction current but no displacement current : It is a current which arises due to flow of electrons in conductors . When a capacitor is connected to a battery , it starts storing charge due to conduction current . Hence , there is no displacement current in the wires outside the capacitors.
