Consider a metallic cube of edge length $L$. Its resistance, $R$, measured across its opposite faces is $R =\frac{ m _{ e } v }{ ne ^2 L ^2}$, where $n$ is the number density and $v$ is the drift speed of electrons in the cube, and $e$ and $m _{ e }$ are the charge and mass of an electron respectively. Assuming the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron to be $L$, the maximum resistance of the sample is closest to ............. $\,\Omega$ $\left(e=1.60 \times 10^{-19} \,C ; m _{ e }=9.11 \times 10^{-31} \,kg\right.$; Planck's constant, $h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \,Js$ )

b (B) $L =\frac{ h }{ mv }$ $R =\frac{ m _{ e } v }{ ne ^2 L ^2}$ $\therefore R =\frac{ h }{ L ^3 n e ^2}$ $R$ maximum when $n$ is minimum that is at least $1 e ^{-}$in the cube $R =\frac{ h }{ L ^3 \frac{1}{ L ^3} e ^2}$ $=\frac{10^{-34}}{10^{-38}}=10^4 \,\Omega$
