Consider a current carrying wire (current 7) in the shape of a circle. Note that as the current progresses along the wire, the direction of j (current density) changes in an exact manner, while the current I remain unaffected. The agent that is essentially responsible for is
(a) Source of emf
(b) Electric field produced by charges accumulated on the surface of wire
(c) The charges just behind a given segment of wire which push them just the right way by repulsion
(d) The charges ahead.

Answer- (b)
Explanation- as we know that J=E, and current density is directly proportional to electric field, so electric field produced by charges accumulated on the surface of wire.

According to this chapter, a galvanometer is used to find and measure the small electric currents in a circuit. The principle that works in a galvanometer is the electromagnetic induction.
There are two types of electricity - Static and Current electricity. The electric charges buildup on a material's surface is called the static electricity. The continuous flow of electric charge is termed as the current electricity. Current electricity is of two types - Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). In AC, the charge direction reverses periodically and in DC, charge flows in one direction.
The current's SI unit is ampere. The symbol for ampere is A. The term ampere is named after the French physicist André-Marie Ampère.
In simple words, current electricity can be defined as the electric charge continuously moving from one place to another along a pathway. It is measured in amperes (A). Electric current is needed for electrical devices to work.
No, in fact, it is one of the easiest chapter of class 12 Physics. Other chapters which are considered comparatively easy are Ray Optics and Electric Charges and Fields.
