Current density is charge density times drift velocity ====================================================== The vector of the electric current density is a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space and its direction is that of the motion of positive electric charges at that point. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.electricity.vector.current_density_is_charge_density_times_drift_velocity .. py:data:: current_density Vector of the :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.electrodynamics.current_density`.
