    If the radius of a copper wire carrying a current is doubled, the drift velocity of the electrons will

    A)  remain same

    B)  increase four times

    C)  decrease four times  

    D)  increase first and then will decrease

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[I=n\,\,e\,\,A\,\,{{v}_{d}}\] Here, \[I\] is same, so\[{{v}_{d}}\propto \frac{1}{A}\] Note that, if voltage applied to a wire of constant length is same, then drift velocity is independent of\[A\].
