Current density (Question 2 (15 Marks)) — UPSC Physics Optional IFoS 2011 Paper I

The current density in spherical co-ordinates is given by \vec{J} = \frac{1}{r^3} \left[ 2 \cos \theta \hat{r} + \sin \theta \hat{\theta} \right] \text{A/m}^2 where \hat{r} and \hat{\theta} are unit vectors. Calculate the amount of current passing through a hemisphere of radius 20\text{ cm}.
