Equal potentials are applied on an iron and copper wire of the same length. In order to have the same current flow in the two wires, the ratio $r_{\text{iron}} / r_{\text{copper}}$ of their radii must be (Given that specific resistance of iron = $1.0 \times 10^{-7} \, \Omega \cdot \text{m}$ and specific resistance of copper = $1.7 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \cdot \text{m}$)
