On applying the same potential difference between the ends of wires of iron and copper of the same length, the same current flows in them. Compare their radii. Specific resistances of iron and copper are respectively `1.0xx10^(-7)` and `1.6xx10^(-8) Omega m`. Can their current-densities be made equal by taking appropriate radii ?
