Find the relation between drift velocity...

Find the relation between drift velocity and relaxation time of charge carriers in a conductor .
A conductor of length L is connected to a d.c source of emf 'E' . If the length of the conductor is tripled by stetching it, keeping 'E' constant , explain how its drift velocity would be affected.
