A steady current $I$ is set up in a wire whose cross-sectional area decreases in the direction of the flow of the current. Then, as we examine the narrowing region,
  • A
    the current density decreases in value
  • B
    the magnitude of the electric field increases
  • C
    the current density remains constant
  • D
    the average speed of the moving charges remains constant
