Which of the following statements contradicts one of Maxwell's equations?
A)A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.
B)The net magnetic flux through a closed surface depends on the current inside.
C)A changing electric field produces a magnetic field.
D)The net electric flux through a closed surface depends on the charge inside.
E)None of these statements contradict any of Maxwell's equations.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maxwell's equations state that the net magnetic flux through any closed surface is zero, regardless of the current inside. This is because magnetic field lines are continuous, forming closed loops without beginning or end, implying that there are no magnetic monopoles. Thus, statement B contradicts Maxwell's equation regarding magnetic flux.
