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?

characteristic of a copper wire of length and area of cross-section is shown in figure. The slope of the curve becomes

As shown in the schematic below, a rod of uniform cross-sectional area and length is carrying a constant current through it and voltage across the rod is measured using an ideal voltmeter. The rod is stretched by the application of a force .
Which of the following graphs would show the variation in the voltage across the rod as function of the strain when the strain is small. Neglect Joule heating.
