Compare the drift speed obtained above with: thermal speeds of copper atoms at ordinary temperatures

A long round conductor of cross-sectional area A is made of a material whose resistivity depends only on the distance r from the axis of the conductor as p=alpha/r^2 where a is alpha constant. Find (a) the resistance per unit length of such a conductor, (b) the electric field strength in the conductor due to which a current I flows through it.

Statement I: A current flows in a conductor only when there is an electric field within the conductor. Statement II: The drift velocity of electron decreases in presence of electric field.
