Current density is the current crossing per unit area. Consider a cylindrical wire of uniform cross-section \(A,\) carrying a current \(I.\) Imagine a cross-section formed by a "\(30^\circ\)-cut" as shown (the wire is not really cut). The current density perpendicular to this cross-section is:
                   
 
1. \(\dfrac{I}{A}\) 2. \(\dfrac{I}{A}~\cos30^\circ\)
3. \(\dfrac{2I}{A}\) 4. \(\dfrac{I}{A}~\sin30^\circ\)

All the cells, shown in the figure below, are of \(2~\text V,\) and all the resistances are \(1~\Omega.\) When a potential difference \(V\) is applied between \(A\) and \(B,\) the current through the circuit doubles compared to the situation when the potential difference is made zero. Then;
1. \(V=2\) volts, positive at \(A.\)
2. \(V=2\) volts, negative at \(A.\)
3. \(V=6\) volts, positive at \(A.\)
4. \(V=6\) volts, negative at \(A.\)
