Question
Current density of a conductor is

Answer

(c) : measure of the flow of electric charge in amperes per unit area of cross-section
Explanation: Current density $J =\frac{I}{A}$
In electromagnetism, current density is the electric current per unit area of cross section. Or It is the measure of the flow of electric charge in amperes per unit area of cross-section .It is a vector and has a direction along the area vector.
