Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the steady current flowing in a metallic conductor of non-uniform cross-section, we will analyze the concepts of current and current density. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Current**: - Current (I) is defined as the flow of electric charge per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ I = \frac{Q}{t} ...
