**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Current Density:** Current density (denoted as \( J \)) is defined as the amount of electric current flowing through a unit cross-sectional area of a conductor. It quantifies how much current is passing through a specific area and is given by the formula: \[ J = \frac{I}{A} \] where: ...
