Correct Answer - Option 2 : A/m
2
The correct answer is option 2) i.e. A/m2
CONCEPT:
-
Current density is defined as the amount of electric charge flowing across a unit cross-sectional area in unit time.
The electric current density (J) for a given conducting material is given as:
\(J = \frac{q/t}{A} = \frac{I}{A}\)
Where q is the electric charge flowing, t is the time, I is the current flowing and A is the cross-sectional area.
EXPLANATION:
- The SI units for current and area are A and m2 respectively.
Current density, \(J = \frac{I}{A}\)
Thus, the SI unit of current density is A/m2.
