Options:
  • A \( 6.67 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~A} \mathrm{~m}^{2} \)
  • B \( 6.67 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~A} \mathrm{~m}^{-2} \)
  • C \( 6.67 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~A} \mathrm{~m}^{-2} \)
  • D \( 6.67 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{Am}^{2} \)

The correct answer is: \( 6.67 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~A} \mathrm{~m}^{-2} \)

Current density at any point in a conductor is defined by current per unit area of cross section at that point.

Given I=2 A and area A=0.003 cm2

J=23×10-7=6.67×106 A m-2
