The potential difference between the two ends of a conducting coil is made twice,but it is seen that the current strength is not doubled.Explain the reason.

If a current passes through a metal conducting wire of area of cross section A, the drift velocity of free electrons inside the metal is v_d=1/( n e A) , where the amount of electric charge of an electron =e and the number of free electrons per unit volume of the metal=n. The applied electric field on the wire is E=V/l , where a potential difference V exists between two points, l apart, along the length of the wire. IF R is the resistance of the wire between those two points, then the resistivity of its material is rho=(RA)/l .Besides the mobility (mu) of the free electrons inside a wire is defined as their drift velocity for a unit applied electric field. The radii of two wires of the same metal are in the ratio 1:2 The same potential difference is applied between two points at a distance l on each of the wires.The ratio between the drift velocities of the free electrons in two wires is
