The voltage V in a simple electrical circuit is slowly decreasing as the battery wears out. The resistance R is slowly increasing as the resistor heats up. Use Ohm's Law, V = IR, to find how the current Iis changing at the moment when R = 398 Ω, I = 0.01 A, dV/dt = −0.04 V/s, and dR/dt = 0.05 Ω/s. (Round your answer to six decimal places.)A/s

Question

The voltage V in a simple electrical circuit is slowly decreasing as the battery wears out. The resistance R is slowly increasing as the resistor heats up. Use Ohm's Law,

V = IR,

to find how the current Iis changing at the moment when

R = 398 Ω,
I = 0.01 A,
dV/dt = −0.04 V/s,

and

dR/dt = 0.05 Ω/s.

(Round your answer to six decimal places.)
