JEE Main 2023Electromagnetic Waves Question with Solution

JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 1)

Question

Which of the following Maxwell’s equation is valid for time varying conditions but not valid for static conditions:

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Correct answer
DE·dl=-ϕBt

Step-by-step explanation

Maxwell’s four equations describe the electric and magnetic fields arising from distributions of electric charges and currents, and how those fields change in time.

The equations are as follows:

E·dA=qε0   ...1B·dA=0   ...2E·dl=-ϕBt   ...3B·dl=μ0I   ...4

From the above set of equations, it is clear that only the third equation is valid for time varying field.

Hence, this is the correct option.
