$A$ copper wire of length $1 \ m$ and radius $1 \ mm$ is connected in series with an iron wire of length $2 \ m$ and radius $3 \ mm$. If a current flows through both wires,the ratio of the current density in the copper wire to that in the iron wire will be:

  • A
    $18 : 1$
  • B
    $9 : 1$
  • C
    $6 : 1$
  • D
    $2 : 3$
