Question:

When a capacitor is subjected to a D.C. source it takes small time internal to get fully charged up. During this small time interval there is no passage of charge through dielectric, yet we use a term - displacement current. This term is used because:

Options:

There is a slow motion of charge from one plate to another

There is a continues change of electric field between plates and hence electric flux

The electric charge from battery stops moving

There is temporary breakdown of dielectric

Correct Answer:

There is a continues change of electric field between plates and hence electric flux

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → There is a continues change of electric field between plates and hence electric flux
