Correct answer: 30000

  1. Use the resistance formula

For a conductor, R=ρLAR = \rho \frac{L}{A}R=ρAL​ where:

  • ρ=3×10−7 Ω m\rho = 3 \times 10^{-7}\ \Omega\,\text{m}ρ=3×10−7 Ωm
  • LLL = distance between the two opposite faces
  • AAA = area of cross-section perpendicular to current
  1. Identify the relevant dimensions

The rectangular parallelopiped has dimensions: 1 cm×1 cm×100 cm1\text{ cm} \times 1\text{ cm} \times 100\text{ cm}1 cm×1 cm×100 cm

The phrase "between its two opposite rectangular faces" refers to the two end faces of area 1 cm×1 cm1\text{ cm} \times 1\text{ cm}1 cm×1 cm so current flows along the length L=100 cm=1 mL = 100\text{ cm} = 1\text{ m}L=100 cm=1 m

Cross-sectional area: A=1 cm×1 cm=1 cm2=10−4 m2A = 1\text{ cm} \times 1\text{ cm} = 1\text{ cm}^2 = 10^{-4}\text{ m}^2A=1 cm×1 cm=1 cm2=10−4 m2

  1. Substitute into the formula

R=3×10−7×110−4R = 3 \times 10^{-7} \times \frac{1}{10^{-4}}R=3×10−7×10−41​

R=3×10−7×104R = 3 \times 10^{-7} \times 10^4R=3×10−7×104

R=3×10−3 ΩR = 3 \times 10^{-3}\ \OmegaR=3×10−3 Ω

  1. Match with the required format

The answer is asked in the form: ‾×10−7 Ω\underline{\hspace{2cm}} \times 10^{-7}\ \Omega​×10−7 Ω

So, 3×10−3=x×10−73 \times 10^{-3} = x \times 10^{-7}3×10−3=x×10−7

Thus, x=3×104=30000x = 3 \times 10^4 = 30000x=3×104=30000

  1. Comparison with stored answer

My derived answer is 300003000030000, not 333. The stored answer appears to have ignored the unit conversion from cm2\text{cm}^2cm2 to m2\text{m}^2m2 or misread the requested coefficient.
