A rectangular conducting homogeneous (which means the material is the same throughout) block has dimensions 1cm×2cm×3cm . A voltage V is applied between all opposite faces of the block and the corresponding currents were recorded. What is the maximum current measured in Amps if the minimum current recorded is 1mA.

look atface area.
largest area: 6cm^2 length: 1cm
Minimum area: 2cm^2 length 3 cm

current will be in proportion to 1/resistance which is proportional to length/area, current=constant*area/length

Min current, max resistance

1mA=constant(2/3)
currentmax=constant(6/1)

constant=1mA*3/2
currentmax=1mA*3/2*6/1=9mA
It should be 0.009
