Answer

The cross-sectional area of the beam

Work Step by Step

The additional quantity we need to calculate is the cross-sectional area of the beam which is mathematically given as $i=J.A$, where A is the cross-sectional area of the beam. We see that this equation relates current and current density, for i and J are current and current density, respectively.
