Consider a resistor made of copper that you connect to a 12.0 V power supply in an oven where the temperature is 300°C. In this heat, you find that a current of 2.00 A goes through the resistor. Determine the current that goes through this resistor if you connect it to the same power supply but this time on the surface of Mars where the temperature is about –100°C.
