Answer

$J = 1.1\times 10^6~A/m^2$

Work Step by Step

We can find the cross-sectional area where the current flows: $A = (\pi)~(2.0\times 10^{-3}~m)^2 - (\pi)~(1.0\times 10^{-3}~m)^2$ $A = 9.42\times 10^{-6}~m^2$ We can find the current density: $J = \frac{I}{A}$ $J = \frac{10~A}{9.42\times 10^{-6}~m^2}$ $J = 1.1\times 10^6~A/m^2$
