Explain why R=R0(1 + a?T) for the temperature variation of the resistance R of an object is not as accurate as P=P0(1 + a?T) which gives the temperature variation of resistivity P.
Figure P18.19 shows a Wheatstone bridge, a circuit used to precisely measure an unknown resistance R by varying Rvar until the ammeter reads zero current and the bridge is said to be balanced. If the bridge is balanced with Rvar = 9.00 , find (a) the value of the unknown resistance Rand (b) the current in the 1.00 resistor. (Hint: With the bridge balanced, the wire through the ammeter can effectively be removed from the circuit, leaving two pairs of resistors in parallel.) Figure Pl8.19

Use the atomic theory of matter to explain why the resistance of a material should increase as its temperature increases.
An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.0500 and is supplied by a 12.0-V battery with a 0.0100- internal resistance, (a) What is thecurrent to the motor? (b) What voltage is applied to it? (c) What power is supplied to the motor? (d) Repeat these calculations for when the battery connections are corroded and add 0.0900 to the circuit. (Significant problems are caused by even small amounts of unwanted resistance in low-voltage, high-current applications.)
The power dissipated in a resistor is given by P = V2/R, which means power decreases if resistance increases. Yet this power is also given by P = I2R, which means power increases if resistance increases. Explain why there is no contradiction here.
When a straight wire is heated, its resistance changes according to the equation R = R0 [1 + (T T0)] (Eq. 17.7), where is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. (a) Show that a more precise result, which includes the length and area of a wire change when it is heated, is R=R0[1+(TT0)][1+(TT0)][1+2(TT0)] where is the coefficient of linear expansion. (See Topic 10.) (b) Compare the two results for a 2.00-m-long copper wire of radius 0.100 mm, starting at 20.0C and heated to 100.0C.

A long uniform rod of electrically resistive material has a resistance of Roriginal =1Ω. The rod is cut into N equal short pieces which are bundled side-by-side so that the short pieces are parallel to each other. The resistance of the bundled short rods is Rnew = 0.04Ω. What is the value of N? (i.e., how many pieces was the original rod cut into?)
Some states allow the use of aluminum wire in houses in place of copper. If you wanted the resistance of your aluminum wires to be the same as that of copper, calculate the ratio of the thickness of the aluminum wire to the copper wire. (ρAl = 2.82 x 10-8 Ω-m and ρCu = 1.72 x 10-8 Ω-m)
