Q 26.12: Assume current flows in a cylindrical conductor in such a way that the current density increases linearly with radius, from zero at the center to 1.0 A/m2 at the surface of the conductor. If the conductor has a cross sectional area of 1.0 m2, what can you say about the current in this conductor

Sagot :

Answer:

The current is 0.67 A.

Explanation:

Density, J = 1 A/m^2

Area, A = 1 m^2

Let the radius is r. And outer is R.

Use the formula of current density

[tex]I = \int J dA = \int J 2\pi r dr\\\\I = \int_{0}^{R}\frac{2\pi r^2}{R} dr\\\\I = \frac{2 \pi R^2}{3}.... (1)Now A = \pi R^2\\\\1 =\pi R^2\\\\R^2 = \frac{1}{\pi}\\\\So, \\\\I = \frac{2\pi}{3}\times \frac{1}{\pi}\\\\I = 0.67 A[/tex]
