Q:

A resistor is rated to consume 100 W of power when operating at its normal temperature. When it is first initiated, it is cold, and power consumption increases linearly as the temperature rises. If the current passing through the resistor is constant, how does the resistance of the resistor change with the linearly-increasing power?

A

The resistance increases linearly.

B

The resistance decreases linearly.

C

The resistance increases exponentially.

D

The resistance decreases exponentially.
