Calculate the electric field when the conductivity is 20 units, electron density is 2.4 units and the velocity is 10m/s. Assume the conduction and convection current densities are same.(a) 2.4(b) 4.8(c) 3.6(d) 1.2I have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.This is a very interesting question from Continuity Equation in chapter Electric Fields in Material Space of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

Correct option is (d) 1.2

For EXPLANATION I would say: The conduction current density is given by J = σE and the convection current density is J = ρe v. When both are EQUAL, ρe v = σE. To get E, put σ = 20, ρe = 2.4 and v = 10, E = 2.4 x 10/20 = 1.2 units.
