One topic they encounter in these courses is called “Ohm’s law,” and it describes the relationship between the voltage V across a resistor, the electrical current I passing through the resistor, and a quantity R known as the resistance. The law can be written as follows:V = I * R.Voltage is typically measured in volts, while current is measured in amperes (amps), and resistance is measured in ohms where 1 ohm equals 1 volt/amp. Lastly, in circuits with variable resistance, the quantities V, I, and R can depend on time.(a) Differentiate Ohm’s Law to find an equation relating the quantities V, I, R, dV/dt , dI/dt , and dR/dt .(b) Suppose that in an electrical circuit the current is increasing at a rate of 0.5 amps per second and the resistance is decreasing at a rate of 4 ohms per second.
