1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A) [Directly proportional/Inversely proportional] The electric field inside the wire is ... to resistivity of the material the wire made of.
B) [Directly proportional/Inversely proportional] The electric field inside the wire is ... to the current passing through the wire.
2. Relevant equations
This is my problem, I can't seem to find any equations that relate electric field to the resistivity or current in the wire.
3. The attempt at a solution
My guess is that A is inversely proportional, and B is directly proportional but its just a guess.
