  • D charge

Question - 8

Choose INCORRECT statement :

  • A Optics is the branet of electromagnetism
  • B The speed of electomagnetic waves depends only on electric and magnetic properties of the medium they travel in, and not on the amplitudes of field variations.
  • C Displacement current is NOT a current in the real sense.
  • D Without displacement current, the electromagnetic radiation would have been possible.

Question - 9

Choose INCORRECT statement :

  • B It is the electric field vector which is responsible for all optical phenomena.
  • C Displacement current and conduction crrent in an electric circuit may not be continuous but their sum is always continuous.
  • D Displacement current is due to rate of flow charge between plates of a capacitor.
