Question:

Given figure shows steady flow of current in a metallic conductor of non uniform cross - section. Current density depends inversely upon the area, so, J1> J2 as A1 < A

When a current of 40 A flows through the conductor of area 10m2, what is the current density? 

Options:

4 A/m2

1 A/m2

2 A/m2

8 A/m2

Correct Answer:

4 A/m2

Explanation:

J = I / A

J : Current density

I : Current

A : Area of Cross Section
