A conducting wire of length lll, area of crosssection AAA and electric resistivity ρ\rhoρ is connected between the terminals of a battery. A potential difference VVV is developed between its ends, causing an electric current. If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved, the resultant current would be___
