    A metal rod of length 10 cm and a rectangular cross - section of 1 cm \[\times \frac{1}{2}\] cm is connected to a battery across opposite faces. The resistance will be

    A) maximum when the battery is connected across 1 cm \[\times \frac{1}{2}\] cm faces.

    B) maximum when the battery is connected across 10 cm \[\times \]1 cm faces.

    C) maximum when the battery is connected across 10 cm \[\times \frac{1}{2}\] cm faces.

    D) same irrespective of the three faces.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Option [a] is correct.
    Explanation: As we know that, \[\operatorname{R}=\rho \left( \frac{l}{A} \right)\]
    The maximum resistance will be achieve when the value of \[\frac{l}{A}\], is maximum, so that 'A' must be minimum and it is minimum when area of cross section is 1 cm \[\times \frac{1}{2}\]cm,
