The Iceberg Kid, infamous for imposing a deep freeze on whoever disagrees with him, discovers that in his advanced teenaged years his hands constantly feel chilled. As he is a cool physics student, the Iceberg Kid quickly calculates the resistance of the resistor needed to warm his hands. Given that 185 J of thermal energy is generated by the resistor during 6.19 s of operation while connected to a 12.0 V battery, find the correct value of this resistance (and avoid a cold, cold fate).

Hi, I have a question regarding electromagnetism. The question is as follows: An aluminum rod has a resistance of 1.590 Ω at 20.0°C. Calculate the resistance of the rod at 102°C by accounting for the changes in both the resistivity and the dimensions of the rod. The coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum is 24.0 ✕ 10-6 (°C)−1.
A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly with temperature, more than in standard resistors. Thermistors are widely used as inrush current limiter, temperature sensors (NTC type typically), self-resetting overcurrent protectors, and self-regulating heating elements. Assume that the relation between resistance (R) in ohms and temperature (T) in Celsius of the thermistor is given by: R=(1+0.3T)/2 By using error propagation formula, calculate the temperature and associated error if R = 15 ± 1 Ω.
