If $n, e, \tau$ and $m$ represent electron density,charge,relaxation time,and mass of an electron respectively,then the resistance of a wire of length $l$ and cross-sectional area $A$ is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{m l}{n e^2 \tau A}$
  • B
    $\frac{m \tau A}{n e^2 l}$
  • C
    $\frac{n e^2 \tau A}{m l}$
  • D
    $\frac{n e^2 A}{m \tau l}$
