Drift velocity = e τ m E v d = e τ m Δ V l Δ V = Potential difference applied across the wire As temperature increases, relaxation time decreases, hence V d decreases. As per formula, V d ∝ 1 l v d = I neA , as it is not mentioned that current is at steady state neither it is mentioned that n is constant for given conductor. So it can't be said that v d is inversely proportional to A . I = n e A v d = V R = V ρ l A v d = e E τ m τ decrease with temperature increase. First and fourth statements are correct. v d = V ρ l n e E = V l
