In a wire of cross-section radius $r$,free electrons travel with 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 drift velocity of free electrons in a conductor is $v$ when a current $i$ is flowing in it. If both the radius and current are doubled,then the drift velocity will be

$A$. The drift velocity of electrons decreases with the increase in the temperature of a conductor.
$B$. The drift velocity is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of a given conductor.
$C$. The drift velocity does not depend on the applied potential difference to the conductor.
$D$. The drift velocity of an electron is inversely proportional to the length of the conductor.
$E$. The drift velocity increases with the increase in the temperature of a conductor.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The drift velocity of electrons in a conducting wire connected to a cell is $V_{d}$. If the length of the wire is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved,then the drift velocity of electrons becomes:

$A$ potential difference $V$ is applied across the ends of a copper wire of diameter $d$ and length $L$. If only the diameter $d$ is doubled,the drift velocity becomes:
