How does Ampere-Maxwell law explain the flow of current through a capacitor when it is being charged by a battery?
उत्तर
Maxwell pointed out that the inconsistency of Ampere's circuital law is due to the wrong assumption that no current flows across
the space between the two plates of the capacitor i.e. there is a discontinuity in the flow of electric current in such electric circuits.
In fact, it is not so. If small compass needle is placed in the gap between the two plates of the capacitor, it shows deflection indicating
the existence of a magnetic field between the plates. So as to explain the existence of magnetic field between the plates, Maxwell assumed that there is a flow of the current across the gap between the plates of the capacitor. He named it as displacement current.

- Show that the particle executes a simple harmonic oscillation.
- Obtain its time period.
Given below are two statements:
- Statement I: The electric force changes the speed of the charged particle and hence changes its kinetic energy; whereas the magnetic force does not change the kinetic energy of the charged particle.
- Statement II: The electric force accelerates the positively charged particle perpendicular to the direction of the electric field. The magnetic force accelerates the moving charged particle along the direction of the magnetic field.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
