Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electromagnetic Field Theory - Quiz(MCQ)
The current in a metal at any frequency is due to
A)
Displacement current
B)
Both conduction and displacement current
C)
Conduction current
D)
Neither conduction nor displacement current

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   Conduction current


Explanation : At any frequency, the current through the metal will be due to conduction current. Only at high frequencies and when medium is air, the conduction is due to displacement current. Thus in general the current in metal is due to conduction current, which depends on the mobility of the carriers.
