- When at 25 degrees Celsius, a certain resistor has a resistance of 220 Ohms. When connected to a 11.0 Volt power supply, the current in the circuit is measured to be 48.9 mA. What is the temperature of the resistor if its temperature coefficient of resistivity is 4.00 x 10^-3 per degree Celsius?arrow_forwardPlethysmographs are devices used for measuring changes in the volume of internal organs or limbs. In one form of this device, a rubber capillary tube with an inside diameter of 1.00 mm is filled with mercury at 20.0°C. The resistance of the mercury is measured with the aid of electrodes sealed into the ends of the tube. If 100 cm of the tube is wound in a helix around a patient’s upper arm, the blood flow during a heartbeat causes the arm to expand, stretching the length of the tube by 0.040 0 cm. From this observation and assuming cylindrical symmetry, you can find the change in volume of the arm, which gives an indication of blood flow. Taking the resistivity of mercury to be 9.58 x 10-7 Ω ⋅ m, calculate (a) the resistance of the mercury and (b) the fractional change in resistance during the heartbeat. Hint: The fraction by which the cross-sectional area of the mercury column decreases is the fraction by which the length increases because the volume of mercury is constant.arrow_forwardA wire has a resistance of 21.0 Q.
