Well we know the n is the number of charge carriers, A is cross-sectional area, v is drift velocity and Q/e is charge of electron. We could then go on to use the I to find the resistance. The formula ρ=RA/l could then be used to find the resistivity. The resistivity could be compared using values found in a lab, and the values found to be different from metal to metal. Of course this is not the best method, but it is one method.
