Questions  

A steady current is flowing through the conductor of variable cross section as shown in the figure. Then select the correct option. 

a
Current through 1 is less than that through 2.
b
Intensity of electric field at 1 is less than that at 2
c
Drift velocity at 1 is more than that 2.
d
Potential difference between sections 1 and 2 is more than the potential difference between the sections A and B

detailed solution

Correct option is B

In a current carrying conductor, P=Resistivity =EJ⇒E=ρ.J=ρiASince current i the same at all sections and resistivity is constant E1
