A conductor-carries a current of `50 muA` If the area of cross-section of the conductor is `50 mm^(2)`, then value of the current density in Amis

A

0.5

B

1

C

`10^(-3)`

D

`10^(-6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Current density J = I/A
`=50 xx 16^(-6) // 50 xx 10^(-6) = 1 Am^(-2)`
