Resistivity: You are given a copper bar of dimensions 3 cm × 5 cm × 8 cm and asked to attach leads to it in order to make a resistor. (3 points each)(a) If you want to achieve the SMALLEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measureA) 3 cm × 5 cm.B) 3 cm × 8 cm.C) 5 cm × 8 cm.D) Any pair of faces produces the same resistance.(b)  If you want to achieve the LARGEST possible resistance, you should attach the leads to the opposite faces that measureA) 3 cm × 5 cm.B) 3 cm × 8 cm.C) 5 cm × 8 cm.D) Any pair of faces produces the same resistance.
