Current Density vs Current
Current Density
Current density describes how much current flows through a unit area of a conductor.
Formula
J = I / A
where I is the current and A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor. High current density causes excessive heating.
Example Calculation
10 A through a wire with 2.5 mm² cross-section.
- 01J = I / A
- 02J = 10 / 2.5 mm²
- 03J = 4 A/mm²
- 04J = 4,000,000 A/m²
