Question
Define current density. State its unit.
✓
Answer
Magnitude of current flowing in the perpendicular direction of unit area of cross-section is known as current density J. Current density $J =\frac{ i }{\Delta S }$, where, $\Delta S$ is area of cross-section. If the direction of flow of charge is inclined at an angle with the perpendicular, then current density, $J=\frac{i}{\Delta S \cos\theta}$ or $I=\vec{J} \cdot \overrightarrow{\Delta S}$
