Two wires each of radius of cross section $r$ but of different materials are connected together end to end (in series). If the densities of charge carriers in the two wires are in the ratio $1 : 4$, the drift velocity of electrons in the two wires will be in the ratio:
  • A$1 : 2$
  • B$2 : 1$
  • C$4 : 1$
  • D$1 : 4$
