Practice Continuity Equation MCQs with four options, answers and explanations for focused Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering revision.

Question 1
Electromagnetic TheoryContinuity Equation

The general differential form of the charge continuity equation is?

  • A∇·J = -partial rho_v/partial t
  • B∇×J = -partial rho_v/partial t
  • C∇·J = rho_v
  • D∇×E = J
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. ∇·J = -partial rho_v/partial t
Explanation: Charge conservation is expressed locally by ∇·J=-∂ρv/∂t.
Reference: Standard electromagnetic theory: continuity equation
Question 2
Electromagnetic TheoryContinuity Equation

For steady current conditions, the continuity equation reduces to?

  • A∇·J = 0
  • B∇×J = 0 always
  • CJ = 0
  • D∇·D = 0 in every conductor
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. ∇·J = 0
Explanation: Under steady conditions charge density does not change with time, so ∇·J=0.
