eDuation &ields the heat rate per unit area $hich is a vectorial Duantit&% or this reason,
in !& opinion, this chan(e doesn)t !atch the author)s eplanation Bust above the
eDuation% In addition, this chan(e i(nores that the ori(inal eDuation $as supposed to

happens because in this tet UT is defined as T hot T cold% This results in a positive nu!ber

resistivit& eDuations such as the ones presented in this section% o$ever, this definition
is different fro! the default !athe!atics definition $hich involves subtractin( the

$here m is the slope 6chan(e in volta(e over chan(e in ti!e in seconds9, and 6t 1 , y 19 is

V t = 10 − !0.010s − 0s t − 0.002s ! = !00 t − 0.002 !This eDuation can then be used in place of V(t) in the inductor eDuation:
