Question

Assertion : Kirchhoff’s current law is valid at each plate of a capacitor carrying displacement current.

Reason : Magnitude of conduction current is equal to the magnitude of the displacement current.

• A. Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
• B. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not a correct explanation of assertion.
• C. Assertion is true, but reason is false.
• D. Assertion is false, but reason is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.


We know that the magnitude of conduction current is equal to the magnitude of the displacement current.
Therefore, we can say that at the plates of the capacitor Kirchhoff's current law is valid.
Hence, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Hence, option $\left(\text{A}\right)$ is correct.
