### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Current Density**: - Current density (denoted as \( \mathbf{J} \)) is defined as the amount of electric current flowing per unit area of a cross-section. Mathematically, it can be expressed as: \[ \mathbf{J} = \frac{I}{A} \] where \( I \) is the current flowing through the conductor and \( A \) is the cross-sectional area. ...
