Consider a current carrying wire (current I) in the shape of a circle. Note that as the current progresses along the wire, the direction of j (current density) changes in an exact manner, while the current I remain unaffected. The agent that is essentially responsible for is:
The current floaring in a wire is 1A. If the charge of an electron is $ 1.6 \times 10^{-19}~C $, then the number of electrons flowing through the wire per second is :
