$A$ conductor of length $\ell$ with a circular cross-section is shown in the figure,carrying a current $i$. The radius of the cross-section varies linearly from $a$ to $b$. Assuming $(b - a) << \ell$,calculate the current density at a distance $x$ from the left end.

  • A
    $\frac{i}{\pi \left[ a - \frac{x(b + a)}{\ell} \right]^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{i}{\pi \left[ a + \frac{x(b + a)}{\ell} \right]^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{i}{\pi \left[ a + \frac{x(b - a)}{\ell} \right]}$
  • D
    $\frac{i}{\pi \left[ a + \frac{x(b - a)}{\ell} \right]^2}$
