The figure below represents a section of a circular conductor of nonuniform diameter carrying a current of I = 5.30 A. The radius of cross-section A1 is r1 = 0.510 cm. What is the magnitude (A/m2) of the current density across A1? Since the radius r2 at A2 is larger than the radius r1 at A1. will the current and current density at A2 larger, smaller, or the same? Assume A2 = 5A1.  What is the radius, the current, and the current density at A2?

Question

The figure below represents a section of a circular conductor of nonuniform diameter carrying a current of I = 5.30 A. The radius of cross-section A1 is r1 = 0.510 cm.

What is the magnitude (A/m2) of the current density across A1?

Since the radius r2 at A2 is larger than the radius r1 at A1. will the current and current density at A2 larger, smaller, or the same?

Assume A2 = 5A1.  What is the radius, the current, and the current density at A2?
