Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same material have lengths $L_A, L_B$ and radii $R_A, R_B$ and drift velocities $v_A, v_B$ respectively. Both wires carry the same current. If $L_A = L_B$ and $R_A = 2R_B$,then the value of $\left(\frac{v_A}{v_B}\right)$ is:

The drift velocity of electrons in a current-carrying wire of radius $r$ is $v$. If we want a drift velocity of $2v$ in a wire of the same material but with half the radius,what current must be passed through it?

$A$. 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.
