Answer

${\dfrac{dP}{dt}}={2RI{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}+I^2{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}}$; and ${{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}=-\dfrac{2P}{I^3}{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}}=-\dfrac{2R}{I}{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}$

Work Step by Step

Since, $P=I^2R$ Now, on differentiating each side with respect to time, we get ${\dfrac{dP}{dt}={R{\dfrac{dI^2}{dt}}+I^2{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}}}$ or, ${\dfrac{dP}{dt}}={2RI{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}+I^2{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}}$ or, $0={2RI{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}+I^2{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}}$ or, ${2RI{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}=-I^2{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}}$ or, ${{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}=-\dfrac{2RI}{I^2}{\frac{dI}{dt}}}$ or, ${{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}=-\dfrac{2P}{I^3}{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}}$ Thus, ${\dfrac{dP}{dt}}={2RI{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}+I^2{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}}$ and ${{\dfrac{dR}{dt}}=-\dfrac{2P}{I^3}{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}}=-\dfrac{2R}{I}{\dfrac{dI}{dt}}$
