For a given electric current,the drift velocity of conduction electrons in a copper wire is $v_d$ and their mobility is $\mu$. When the current is increased at constant temperature,

  • A
    $v_d$ increases,$\mu$ remains the same
  • B
    $v_d$ remains the same,$\mu$ increases
  • C
    $v_d$ decreases,$\mu$ remains the same
  • D
    $v_d$ remains the same,$\mu$ decreases
