    A copper wire of length 1 m and radius 1 mm is joined in series with an iron wire of length 2 m and radius 3 mm and a current is passed through the wires. The ratio of the current density in the copper and iron wires is [MP PMT 1994]

    A)                    18 : 1

    B)                                      9 : 1

    C)                    6 : 1                                  

    D)            2 : 3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Current density \[J=\frac{i}{A}=\frac{i}{\pi {{r}^{2}}}\]Þ \[\frac{{{J}_{1}}}{{{J}_{2}}}=\frac{{{i}_{1}}}{{{i}_{2}}}\times \frac{r_{2}^{2}}{r_{1}^{2}}\] But the wires are in series, so they have the same current, hence \[{{i}_{1}}={{i}_{2}}\]. So \[\frac{{{J}_{1}}}{{{J}_{2}}}=\frac{r_{2}^{2}}{r_{1}^{2}}=9:1\]
