Which phenomenon explains charge accumulation when radio frequency electromagnetic waves pass near a split ring resonator?

💡 Explanation

When RF waves interact with a split ring resonator, a capacitive coupling develops across the gap because charge carriers accumulate due to electric field oscillation, acting like a capacitor. Therefore, capacitive coupling explains this accumulation, rather than inductive reactance, plasma formation or signal cancellation which depend on different mechanisms.
