Help with calculating current density Hilfe anzeigen

Remember that
current density always describes the current in relation
to the cross-sectional area.

The current is divided by the conductor cross-section.
Use the values given in the task and
then check the unit.

Step-by-step guide to calculating current density Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung anzeigen

A current of 20 A and
a conductor cross-section of 4 mm² are given.

The current density is calculated
by dividing the current by the
conductor cross-section.

Substituting the values: 20 A ÷ 4 mm².

The calculation gives: 20 ÷ 4 = 5.

The unit is A/mm².

The current density is 5 A/mm².

A current of 20 A flows through a conductor with a cross-section of 4 mm². What is the current density?
