Consider a current carrying wire (current \(\text{I}\)) in the shape of a circle. Note that as the current progresses along the wire, the direction of \(\text{j}\) (current density) changes in an exact manner, while the current \(\text{I}\) remains unaffected. The agent that is essentially responsible for it is:

1. source of emf.
2. the electric field produced by charges accumulated on the surface of the wire.
3. the charges just behind a given segment of wire which push them just the right way by repulsion.
4. the charges ahead.
