    Given a current carrying wire of non-uniform cross-section. Which one of the following constant throughout the length of wire?

    A) Current only

    B) Current and drift speed

    C) Drift speed only

    D)  Current, electric field and drift speed

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The state of motion of charge is called electric current. The electric current in a conductor is a characteristic property of that particular conductor. In a non-uniform wire only, current remains constant throughout the wire. Reason being that current is determined from the number of free electrons in the wire which remains constant.
