A constant voltage of 77 volts is put across a resistance that is increasing at a rate of 0.202 ohms per second when the resistance is 55 ohms. The current is changing at a rate of 0.0051amps per sec
Given voltage (V) = 77v
Resistance (R) = 55ohms
The relation among voltage (V), resistance (R) and current (I) is given as
I =V/R
The increasing rate of resistance is = dR/dt = 0.2ohms per second
By derivating the current to get rate of change in current
dI/dt = Vxd/dt(1/R) [ Because V is a constant ]
dI/dt = V x d/dt(R −1)
dI/dt = V(-1/R^2 x dR/dt) = 77x (-1/55x55) x 0.202 = -0.005amp per second
Hence the current is changing at a rate of 0.0051amps per sec
