What is the difference between conduction and convection current density?

Conduction current is something you would witness in a conducting material, such as a metal. It refers to the movement of current in the presence of an electric field and can be described by Ohm's law. Convection current is current flow in an insulating medium. This, however, does not follow Ohm's law.

How do you find the velocity of an electron given the voltage?

The electron starts from rest (near enough) so the kinetic energy gained is given by ½mv 2 where m is its mass and v is its speed.

How to Calculate Convection Current Density?

Convection Current Density calculator uses Convection Current Density = Charge Density*Charge Velocity to calculate the Convection Current Density, Convection Current Density refers to the movement of charge carriers (usually electrons) in a conducting material due to an electric field. It is a key concept in understanding the flow of electric current in conductors and semiconductors. When an electric field is applied to the material, it exerts a force on the electrons, causing them to move in response to the field. Convection Current Density is denoted by J_cv symbol.

How to calculate Convection Current Density using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Convection Current Density, enter Charge Density (ρ) & Charge Velocity (v) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Convection Current Density calculation can be explained with given input values -> 36 = 3*12.

FAQ

What is Convection Current Density?

Convection Current Density refers to the movement of charge carriers (usually electrons) in a conducting material due to an electric field. It is a key concept in understanding the flow of electric current in conductors and semiconductors. When an electric field is applied to the material, it exerts a force on the electrons, causing them to move in response to the field and is represented as J_cv = ρ*v or Convection Current Density = Charge Density*Charge Velocity. Charge Density refers to the amount of electric charge per unit volume or unit area in a given region of space & Charge Velocity is the velocity at which electric charge moves.
