$\mathrm{i}=\mathrm{neAV}_{\mathrm{drift}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}$

$\mathrm{R}=\frac{\rho \ell}{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{4 \rho \ell}{\pi \mathrm{d}^{2}}$

$\therefore {{\rm{V}}_{{\rm{drift}}}} = \frac{{\rm{V}}}{{{\rm{RneA}}}} = \frac{{\rm{V}}}{{\frac{{\rho \ell }}{{\rm{A}}} \times {\rm{neA}}}} = \frac{{\rm{V}}}{{\rho \ell {\rm{ne}}}} \propto \frac{{\rm{V}}}{\ell }$
