quantum field theory - Density operator in second quantization


I would want to understand why the density operator in second quantization takes the form:


$$\rho_\sigma(\mathbf{r})=\Psi_\sigma^\dagger(\mathbf{r})\Psi_\sigma(\mathbf{r})?$$


Is this a definition or can we derive it from some formula?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
