Hi, I have a question regarding electromagnetism. The question is as follows: An aluminum rod has a resistance of 1.590 Ω at 20.0°C. Calculate the resistance of the rod at 102°C by accounting for the changes in both the resistivity and the dimensions of the rod. The coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum is 24.0 ✕ 10-6 (°C)−1.
why do I get a negative current in the voltage source? what does it mean?
