Next >

A rectangular conductor with an initial cross-sectional area of 2.0×10−6 m22.0 \times 10^{-6}\,\text{m}^2 carries a constant current of 3.0 A3.0\,\text{A}. If the conductor’s cross-sectional area is reduced to half its initial value, by what factor does the current density change?

A

Current density is halved (0.5)

B

No change in current density (1)

C

2

D

Current density quadruples (4)
