While taking photographs in Death Valley on a day when the temperature is 59.0°C, B Hiker finds that a certain voltage applied to a silver 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°C? Assume no change occurs in the wire's shape and size. 1.99 x Your response offers from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. A
