To derive the relation between current density (J), conductivity (σ), and electric field intensity (E) for a metallic conductor, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Conductivity and Resistivity**: - The conductivity (σ) of a material is defined as the reciprocal of its resistivity (ρ). Therefore, we can express this relationship as: \[ \sigma = \frac{1}{\rho} ...
