A copper wire has a square cross-section, $2.0\, mm$ on a side. It carries a current of $8\, A$ and the density of free electrons is $8 \times {10^{28}}\,{m^{ - 3}}$. The drift speed of electrons is equal to
  • A$0.156 × {10^{ - 3}}\,  m.s^{-1}$ 
  • B$0.156 × {10^{ - 2}} \, m.s^{-1}$ 
  • C$3.12 × {10^{ - 3}} \, m.s^{-1}$ 
  • D$3.12 × {10^{ - 2}} \, m.s^{-1}$

    Wheatstone bridge principle is used to measure the specific resistance $\left(S_1\right)$ of given wire, having length $L$, radius $r$. If $X$ is the resistance of wire, then specific resistance is: $S_1=X\left(\frac{\pi r^2}{L}\right)$. If the length of the wire gets doubled then the value of specific resistance will be :
