AI Generated Solution

To determine if the current \( I \) will be different at different cross-sections of a conductor with varying areas of cross-section, we can analyze the relationship between current, drift speed, and cross-sectional area. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Formula for Current:** The current \( I \) flowing through a conductor can be expressed using the formula: \[ I = n \cdot A \cdot e \cdot v_d ...
