In the circuit shown below- a capacitor is being used in an AC circuit. A magnetic needle shows deflection, both at point P and Q. Which of the options among the following correctly specifies the reason for the presence of magnetic field at both the points?
image

  1. A Due to conduction current and displacement current at Q and P respectively .
  2. B Flow of charges in the wire and constant electric field between the plates \(A\) and \(B\).
  3. C Flow of charges in the wire and varying electric field between capacitor plates \(A\) and \(B\).
  4. D At \(Q\) the magnetic needle will show deflection due to magnetic field of the earth and at \(P\) due to the current flowing in the wire.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Flow of charges in the wire and varying electric field between capacitor plates \(A\) and \(B\).

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Flow of charges in the wire and varying electric field between capacitor plates A and B. At Point P: The magnetic needle deflects because of the conduction current ( \(I_c\) ) flowing through the wire. This current is the physical flow of charges (electrons), which generates a…
