A Copper Wire Has a Diameter of D_Cu = 0 $\varOmega$

A copper wire has a diameter of d_Cu = 0.0400 cm,is 3.00 m long,has a resistivity of 1.72 * 10^-8 $\varOmega$ m and has a carrier density of 8.50 * 10²⁸ electrons/m³.The copper wire is attached to an equal length of aluminum wire with a diameter of d_Al = 0.0200 cm,and a carrier density of 6.02 * 10²⁸ electrons/m³.A current of 0.400 A flows through the copper and aluminum wires.What is the ratio of the current densities J_Cu/J_Al in the two wires?

A) 0.25
B) 0.50
C) 2
D) 3
E) 4
