The conduction current is the same as displacement current when the source is: |
A.C. only D.C. only Both A.C. and D.C. neither for A.C. nor for D.C. |
A.C. only |
$\text{Displacement current } I_d = \epsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt}$ $\text{For D.C.: electric field is constant} \Rightarrow \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt} = 0$ $I_d = 0$ $\text{Conduction current } I \neq 0$ $\text{For A.C.: electric field varies with time}$ $\text{Maxwell’s equation ensures } I = I_d$ The correct answer is A.C. only. |
