In the given figure, a battery of emf E is connected across a conductor PQ of length 'l' and different area of cross- sections by having radii r? and r? (r? < r?). Choose the correct option as one moves from P to Q:

Option 1 - <p>All of these<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 2 - <p>Electron current decreases.<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 3 - <p>Drift velocity of electron increases.</p>
Option 4 - <p>Electric field decreases.</p>

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

i = constant
v ∝ E & E ∝ 1/r² So, E increases with decrease in the radius.
also v ∝ E
So, drift speed increases.
