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,$h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, Js$)

$A$ cylindrical resistor of radius $7.0 \, mm$ and length $4.0 \, cm$ is made of a material that has a resistivity of $10^{-6} \, \Omega \cdot m$. If the energy is dissipated at a rate of $1.54 \, W$ in the resistor, then the current density is:

$A$ $1\,m$ long copper wire carries a current of $1\,A$. If the cross-section of the wire is $2.0\,mm^{2}$ and the resistivity of copper is $1.7 \times 10^{-8}\,\Omega\,m$,the force experienced by a moving electron in the wire is $x \times 10^{-23}\,N$. Find the value of $x$. (Charge on electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,C$)
