Rate of change of resistance

3,172

HINT

So you have $$V(t) = I(t) R(t).$$

  1. Compute $V'(t)$ using product rule.
  2. You are given $V'(t), I'(t)$ and $V,I$ are specified as well.
  3. Plug into your result in (1) to compute what you need.

    The voltage $V$ (volts), current $I$ (amperes), and resistance $R$ (ohms) of an electric circuit are related by the equation $V = IR$.

    Suppose that $V$ is increasing at a rate of $3$ volt/sec while $I$ is decreasing at a rate of $-\frac{1}{4}$ amp/sec. Let $t$ denote time in seconds.

    Determine the rate at which $R$ is changing when $V$ = 9 volts and $I$ = 5 amperes.
