Question

While taking photographs in Death Valley on a day when the temperature is 52.0

While taking photographs in Death Valley on a day when the temperature is 52.0 degree C, Bill Hiker finds that a certain voltage applied to a iron 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 degree C? Assume that no change occurs in the wire's shape and size. 2.702702 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. A
