A metal rod of length 10 cm and a rectangular cross-section of  \(1~ \text {cm} \times 1/2~ \text {cm}\) is connected to a battery across opposite faces. The resistance will be:

1. maximum when the battery is connected across\(1~ \text {cm} \times 1/2~ \text {cm}\) faces.
2. maximum when the battery is connected across \(10~ \text {cm} \times 1~ \text {cm}\) faces.
3. maximum when the battery is connected across \(10~ \text {cm} \times 1/2~ \text {cm}\) faces.
4. same irrespective of the three faces.
