Physics-Ohm's Law

NEET Physics Ohm's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12

Consider a cylindrical conductor with an electric field applied along its length. If the conductor obeys Ohm's law, what must be true about the relationship between the current density jj and the electric field EE?

Question diagram
A

The current density jj is directly proportional to the electric field EE.

B

The current density jj is inversely proportional to the electric field EE.

C

The current density jj is independent of the electric field EE.

D

The current density jj has a quadratic relationship with the electric field EE.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, a conducting material obeys Ohm’s law when the resistivity does not depend on the magnitude and direction of the applied electric field, implying a linear relationship between jj and EE.
