MCQ
Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/ are correct?
  • Conduction current obeys Ohm's law whereas displacement current does not.
  • B
    Conduction current is the actual current whereas displacement current is the apparent current produced by time varying electric field.
  • C
    Conduction current density is represented by $\overrightarrow{\text{J}_\text{c}}=\sigma\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$ whereas displacement current density is given by $\overrightarrow{\text{J}_\text{d}}=\frac{\overrightarrow{\delta\text{E}}}{\delta\text{t}};\sigma=$ conductivity of the element, $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}=$ electric field.
  • D
    All of the above

Answer

Correct option: A.
Conduction current obeys Ohm's law whereas displacement current does not.

Displacement current is the current that occurs due to charging electric field introduced by maxwell. It depends on the frequency of electric field while conduction current follows ohms law, requires medium displacement.Current doesnot follow ohms law nor require medium.

Two light waves having the same wavelength $\lambda$ in vacuum are in phase initially. Then the first wave travels a path $L _{1}$ through a medium of refractive index $n_{1}$ while the second wave travels a path of length $L_{2}$ through a medium of refractive index $n _{2}$. After this the phase difference between the two waves is:

Two metallic plates $A$ and $B$, each of area $5 ×10^{-4}m^2$ are placed parallel to each other at a separation of $1\ cm$. Plate $B$ carries a positive charge of $33.7 \,pc$. $A$ monochromatic beam of light, with photons of energy $5\, eV$ each, starts falling on plate $A$ at $t = 0$, so that $10^{16}$ photons fall on it per square meter per second. Assume that one photoelectron is emitted for every $10^{6}$ incident photons. Also assume that all the emitted photoelectrons are collected by plate $B$ and the work function of plate $A$ remains constant at the value $2\, eV$.
