Question

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the _____________ of the electric field.

Answer 1

Answer;

the potential difference

The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the potential difference of the electric field

Explanation;

An electric current results from the collective movement of free charges under the effect of an electric field. An electric field exists and can be observed in the space around a single charge or a number of charges.

Electric fields cause charges to move. It stands to reason that an electric field applied to some material will cause currents to flow in that material. In other words, the current density is directly proportional to the electric field. The constant of proportionality σ is called the material’s conductivity.

Answer 2

The Magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the voltage of the electric field.
