Mean current density
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-007069
The average electric current flowing per unit area across an interface or through a cross-section of a conductor. It is calculated by dividing the total electric current by the total area through which it passes. This quantity is expressed in amperes per square meter (A/m²).
