CONCEPT:

  • Ohm's law: At constant temperature, the potential difference across a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

⇒ V = IR

 Where V is the potential difference, R is resistance and I is current

  • The conductors generally obey the ohm's law​
  • Ohm's law in point form or vector form: The vector form of Ohm’s law is used in electromagnetics and material science.
  • The vector form is also known as the point form of Ohm's law.

⇒​ J = σE 

Where J is the current density, E is the electric field and σ is conductivity.

  • Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity. 

EXPLAINATION:

  • From the above discussion, it is clear that the ohms law in point or vector for is given by

⇒​ J = σE 

  • Hence, the correct option is (3).
