$j=\frac{I}{A}=n e v_{d}$
$\frac{4 I}{\pi d^{2}}=n e v$
$\frac{161}{\pi d^{2}}=n e v^{\prime}$
From equaiton $( I )$ and $( II )$
$\frac{4 I}{16 I}=\frac{v^{\prime}}{v^{\prime}} \Rightarrow v^{\prime}=4 v$

- 5This question contains statement$-1$ and statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.View Solution
statement$-1$ : The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$. The resistance of a wire changes from $100\; \Omega$ to $150\; \Omega$ when its temperature is increased from $27^{\circ} C$ to $227^{\circ} C$. This implies that $\alpha=2.5$ $\times 10^{-3} /{ }^{\circ} C$
statement$-2\;: R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$ is valid only when the change in the temperature $\Delta T$ is small and $\Delta R=\left(R-R_{0}\right) < < R_{0}$
