Problem

A resistor obeys the relationship V=IRV = IR, where VV is voltage, II is current, and RR is resistance. At one instant the voltage across the resistor is decreasing while the current through it is increasing. Which of the following best describes the instantaneous rate of change of the resistance, dR/dtdR/dt, at that moment? a) dR/dt\displaystyle dR/dt is positive. b) dR/dt\displaystyle dR/dt is zero. c) dR/dt\displaystyle dR/dt is negative. d) The sign of dR/dt\displaystyle dR/dt cannot be determined from the given information.
