Question

9. While taking photographs in a hot valley on a day when the temperature is 58.0°C, Bill

finds that a certain voltage applied to a copper wire produces a current of 1.000 A. Bill

then travels to Antarctica and applies the same voltage to the same wire. What current does

he register there if the temperature is -88.0°C? Assume that no change occurs in the wire's

shape and size.

(Temperature coefficient of resistivity for copper is 3.90×10³ (°C). The reference

temperature in the linear approximation model is 20.0°C.)
