Consider a metallic cube of edge length $L$. Its resistance,$R$,measured across its opposite faces is $R = \frac{m_e v}{n e^2 L^2}$,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 ............. $\Omega$ ($e = 1.60 \times 10^{-19} \, C$; $m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$; Planck's constant,$h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, Js$)

On increasing the temperature of a conductor,its resistance increases because
