NEET Ampere's Law and Displacement Current MCQs & PYQs

Question 1:

moderate

To produce an instantaneous displacement current of 2 mA in the space between the parallel plates of a capacitor of capacitance \(4 \mu\text{F}\), the rate of change of applied variable potential difference \(\left(\frac{dV}{dt}\right)\) must be

Since displacement current is given by \(I_d = C \frac{dV}{dt}\), we find \(\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{I_d}{C} = \frac{2 \times 10^{-3} \text{A}}{4 \times 10^{-6} \text{F}} = 500 \text{V/s}\).

Question 2:

moderate

Which of the following conclusion can be drawn if an electromagnetic wave satisfies the Ampere’s law for vacuum?

For an EM wave in vacuum, \(c = \frac{E_0}{B_0}\) and \(c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}\). Substituting \(\frac{B_0}{E_0} = \frac{1}{c}\) into \(mu_0 \varepsilon_0 = \frac{B_0}{E_0 c}\) gives \(mu_0 \varepsilon_0 = \frac{1}{c^2}\), which is true.
