Relation between electric conductivity(σ) and current density (J)
# “Relation between electric conductivity(σ) and current density (J)”:
Considered the length of current carrying conductor be (l) and its area of cross section be A. when V volt potential difference is applied by the cell across the conductor, the electric field E is produced and current I ampere is flowing through it.
we know that :
Electrical conductivity=1/Electric resistivity
σ = 1/ρ --------(1)
Current density = current/Area
J = I/A -------(2)
By the definition:
Resistivity, ρ = (R×A)/l
(By ohm's law, V = R×I
Hence, R = V/I )
ρ = V/I × A/l
ρ = V/l × A/I
( Since, Electric field, E = ∆V/∆X = V/l )
ρ = E × A/I
Putting the value of ρ in enq1
σ = 1/E × I/A
( Putting, I/A = J )
σ = 1/E × J
σ.E = J
Or [ J = σ.E ]
