Which of the following is correct?

Current density in a cylindrical wire of radius $R$ is given as $J = \begin{cases} J_0 \left( \frac{x}{R} - 1 \right) & 0 \leqslant x < \frac{R}{2} \\ J_0 \frac{x}{R} & \frac{R}{2} \leqslant x \leqslant R \end{cases}$. The current flowing in the wire is:

$A$ current of $5\, A$ passes through a copper conductor (resistivity $= 1.7 \times 10^{-8}\, \Omega \, m$) of radius of cross-section $5\, mm$. Find the mobility of the charges if their drift velocity is $1.1 \times 10^{-3}\, m/s$.

$A$ potential difference $V$ is applied across the ends of a metallic wire of length $l$. The drift velocity will be doubled if:

Assertion: The current density $\vec J$ at any point in an ohmic resistor is in the direction of the electric field $\vec E$ at that point.
Reason: $A$ point charge when released from rest in a region having only an electrostatic field always moves along electric lines of force.
