A current is uniformly distributed across the cross-section of cylindrical wire of radius R = 4 mm with current density \( J = 2.5 \times 10^5 \text{ Am}^{-2} \). The amount of current flowing through the outer portion of the wire between radial distance R/2 and R is

  1. A 9.18 A
  2. B 94.2 A
  3. C 9.42 A
  4. D 7.28 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 9.42 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I = \int_{R/2}^{R} J (2 \pi r dr)\) \(I = J \cdot 2 \pi \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_{R/2}^{R}\) \(I = J \cdot 2 \pi \left( \frac{R^2}{2} - \frac{(R/2)^2}{2} \right) = J \cdot 2 \pi \left( \frac{R^2}{2} - \frac{R^2}{8} \right) = J \cdot \frac{3 \pi R^2}{4}\)…
