$A$ metallic conductor of irregular cross-section is as shown in the figure. $A$ constant potential difference is applied across the ends $(1)$ and $(2)$. Then:

  • A
    the current at the cross-section $P$ equals the current at the cross-section $Q$
  • B
    the electric field intensity at $P$ is less than that at $Q$
  • C
    the rate of heat generated per unit time at $Q$ is greater than that at $P$
  • D
    All of the above
