While taking photographs in Death Valley on a day when the temperature is 58.0C, Bill Hiker finds that a certain voltage applied to a copper 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 88.0C? Assume that no change occurs in the wires shape and size.

Review. A rechargeable battery of mass 15.0 g delivers an average current of 18.0 in A to a portable DVD player at 1.60 V for 2.40 h before the battery must be recharged. The recharger maintains a potential difference of 2.30 V across the battery and delivers a charging current of 13.5 mA for 4.20 h. (a) What is the efficiency of the battery as an energy storage device? (b) How much internal energy is produced in the battery during one charge-discharge cycle? (c) If the battery is surrounded by ideal thermal insulation and has an effective specific heat of 975 J/kg C, by how much will its temperature increase during the cycle?
