A steady current flows in a metallic conductor of non-uniform cross-section. Which of these quantities is constant along the conductor : current, current density, electric field, drift speed?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Only current through the conductor of non-uniform area of cross section is constant as the remaining quantities vary inversly with the area of cross section of the conductor.
