- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
We check which equation is valid for time-varying fields but not for static fields.
-
Examine each option:
A.
- This is the electrostatic form of Faraday’s law.
- It is valid for static conditions.
- For time-varying magnetic field, the correct relation is
- So A is not the required equation.
B.
- This is Ampere’s circuital law for steady currents.
- For time-varying conditions, Maxwell corrected it to
- Hence the given form is mainly for static/steady case, not the required one.
C.
- This is Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.
- It applies when magnetic field changes with time.
- In static conditions, and it reduces to
- Thus this is the equation characterizing time-varying conditions, not static conditions in its general form.
- So this is the correct option.
D.
- This is Gauss’s law.
- It is valid for both static and time-varying situations.
- So D is not correct.
-
Therefore, the Maxwell equation valid for time-varying conditions but not for static conditions is:
So, the correct option is C.
