The figure shows a rectangular block with dimensions $x, 2x$ and $4x$. Electrical contacts can be made to the block between opposite pairs of faces (for example,between the faces labelled $A-A, B-B$ and $C-C$). Between which two faces would the maximum electrical resistance be obtained? ($A-A$: Top and bottom faces,$B-B$: Left and right faces,$C-C$: Front and rear faces)
