Question:

A charging capacitor has

Options:

Only conduction current present in connecting wire

Only displacement current present in the space between plates

Both displacement and conduction currents present

No current present in different regions of space

Correct Answer:

Both displacement and conduction currents present

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Both displacement and conduction currents present

In a charging capacitor:

- In the connecting wires, conduction current flows.

- In the gap between the plates, displacement current flows due to changing electric field.

Thus, both conduction and displacement currents are present in different regions of the circuit.

Final Answer: Both displacement and conduction currents present
