  • A
    The current produced by the flow of electrons in a conductor.
  • B
    The current that arises due to the time-varying electric field in a region.
  • C
    The current produced by the motion of ions in an electrolyte.
  • D

Imagine a world where free magnetic charges exist. In this world,a circuit is made with a $U$-shape wire and a rod free to slide on it. $A$ current carried by free magnetic charges can flow in the circuit. When the circuit is placed in a uniform electric field $E$ perpendicular to the plane of the circuit and the rod is pulled to the right with a constant speed $v$,the magnetic $emf$ in the circuit and the direction of the corresponding current,arising because of changing electric flux will be ($l$ is the length of the rod and $c$ is the speed of light).

The displacement current through the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $30 \mu F$ is $150 \mu A$. The capacitor is charged by a source of varying potential at the rate of: (in $Vs^{-1}$)
