Consider a current carryiing wire (current I) in the shape of a circle

A

source of emf

B

electric field produced by charges accumulated on the surface of wire

C

the charges just behind a given segment of wire which push them just the right way by repulsion

D

The charges ahead.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Current per unit area (taken normal to the current( I/A, is called current density and is denoted by j. the SI units of the current density are `A//m^(2)`. The current density is also directed along E and is also a vector and the relationship is given by
`j=sE`
The j changes due to electric field produced by charges accumulated on the surface of wire.
