- Explain why R=R0(1 + a?T) for the temperature variation of the resistance R of an object is not as accurate as P=P0(1 + a?T) which gives the temperature variation of resistivity P.arrow_forwardReview. When a straight wire is warmed, its resistance is given by R = R0,[1 + a(T T0)] according to Equation 27.20, where a is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. This expression needs to be modified if we include the change in dimensions of the wire due to thermal expansion. For a copper wire of radius 0.100 0 mm and length 2.000 m, find its resistance at 100.0C, including the effects of both thermal expansion and temperature variation of resistivity. Assume the coefficients are known to four significant figures.arrow_forwardPower P0 = I0 V0 is delivered to a resistor of resistance R0. If the resistance is doubled (Rnew = 2R0) while the voltage is adjusted such that the current is constant, what are the ratios (a) Pnew/P0 and (b) Vnew/V0? If, instead, the resistance is held constant while Pnew = 2P0, what are the ratios (c) Vnew/V0, and (d) Inew/I0?arrow_forward
