When a long straight uniform rod is connected across an ideal cell, the drift velocity of electrons in it is $v$. If a uniform hole is made along the axis of the rod and the same battery is used, then the drift velocity of electrons becomes

  • A
    $v$
  • B
    $ > v$
  • C
    $ < v$
  • D
    $zero$
