Answer

$$\dfrac{dI}{dt}=-0.000031 Amp/s \\=-3.1 \times 10^{-5}$$

Work Step by Step

We need to use chain rule as follows: $\dfrac{dV}{dt}=V_I(\dfrac{dI}{ dt})+V_r(\dfrac{dR}{dt})$ Now, $\dfrac{dV}{dt}=R(\dfrac{dI}{ dt})+I(\dfrac{dR}{dt}) .....(1)$ Now, we will plug the values in the equation (1). $-(0.1)=(400) \times (\dfrac{dI}{ dt})+(0.08) \times (0.03)$ or, $-(0.1)=(0.00240)+(400) \times (\dfrac{dI}{ dt})$ Thus, we have $$\dfrac{dI}{dt}=-0.000031 Amp/s \\=-3.1 \times 10^{-5}$$
