Statement I: The drift velocity of free ...

Statement I: The drift velocity of free electrons is `v_d` when a current l passes through a copper wire. The drift velocity is halved when the same current passes through another copper wire of double the diameter.
Statement II: For the same current, the drift velocity of free electrons in a metal wire is inversely proportional to the area of cross section of the wire.
