Current Density Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Current Density (j) is:

\[ j = p \times v \]

Where:

\( j \) is the current density (A/m²).
\( p \) is the charge density.
\( v \) is the velocity of the charges.

Example

Let's say the charge density (\( p \)) is 5 C/m³ and the velocity of the charges (\( v \)) is 2 m/s. Using the formula:

\[ j = 5 \times 2 \]

We get:

\[ j = 10 \text{ A/m²} \]

So, the Current Density (\( j \)) is 10 A/m².

What is Current Density?

Current density is defined as the total current per unit of volume or area. It is a measure of the electric current (flow of electric charge) per unit area of cross-section.
