Chapter 17, Problem 10CQ
Power P0 = I0 ΔV0 is delivered to a resistor of resistance R0. If the resistance is doubled (Rnew = 2R0) while the voltage is adjusted such that the current is constant, what are the ratios (a) Pnew/P0 and (b) ΔVnew/ΔV0? If, instead, the resistance is held constant while Pnew = 2P0, what are the ratios (c) ΔVnew/ΔV0, and (d) Inew/I0?
