The specific resistance of a wire is $\rho$,its volume is $3\,m^3$ and its resistance is $3\,\Omega$. Then its length will be:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{\rho}}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{\sqrt{\rho}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\rho}\sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $\rho\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}$

The figure shows a rectangular block with dimensions $x, 2x$ and $4x$. Electrical contacts can be made to the block between opposite pairs of faces (for example,between the faces labelled $A-A, B-B$ and $C-C$). Between which two faces would the maximum electrical resistance be obtained? ($A-A$: Top and bottom faces,$B-B$: Left and right faces,$C-C$: Front and rear faces)
