The figure below represents a section of a circular conductor of nonuniform diameter carrying a current of I = 4.00 A. The radius of cross-section A1 is r1 = 0.480 cm.
An illustration shows a horizontal cylindrical conductor of nonuniform diameter such that the radius of the left face of the cylinder, r1, is less than the radius of the right face of the cylinder, r2. Similarly the area A1 of the left face of the cylinder is less than the area of the right face of the cylinder, A2. The current is shown to flow rightward and horizontal, as represented by the arrow I.
