Q148 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2024 (19 May Shift 2) · Physics

A steady current is flowing in a metallic conductor of non-uniform cross section. The physical quantity which remains constant is

A
Electricity current density
B
Drift velocity
C
Electricity current density and drift velocity
Correct answer
D
Electric current

Solution

For a metallic conductor of non-uniform cross section, $\mathrm{I}_1=\mathrm{I}_2=\text { constant }$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
