Answer to Question #318244 in Electricity and Magnetism for Ockthane

Question

a 7.0 mm diameter copper wire carries a current of 0.7ua.what is the current density?

Answer 1

$I=0.7\mu A\\r=3.5mm$

$J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{I}{\pi r^2}$

$J=\frac{0.7\times10^{-6}}{3.14\times(3.5\times10^{-3})^2}$

$J=18.19\times10^{-3}A/m^2$
