In a wire of circular cross-section with radius $r$,free electrons travel with a drift velocity $V$ when a current $I$ flows through the wire. What is the current in another wire of half the radius and of the same material when the drift velocity is $2V$?

The relaxation time $\tau$ is nearly independent of the applied $E$ field,whereas it changes significantly with temperature $T$. The first fact is (in part) responsible for Ohm's law,whereas the second fact leads to the variation of resistivity $\rho$ with temperature. Elaborate why?
