A conducting wire of length 'I', area of cross-section A and electric resistivity `rho` is connected between the terminals of a battery. A potential difference V is developed between its ends, causing an electric current.
If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved, the resultant current would be:

A

`1/4 (rho l )/(VA )`

B

`3/4 (VA)/(rhol )`

C

`1/4 (VA)/(rho l )`

D

`4 (VA)/(rhol)`
