Two resistances at 0^ C with temperature coefficient of resistance ₁ and ₂ joined in series act as a single resistance in a circuit. The temperature coefficient of their single resistance will be
Options
- A₁+ ₂
- B₁ ₂ ₁+ ₂
- C₁- ₂ 2
- D₁+ ₂ 2
Correct answer
D. ₁+ ₂ 2
Step-by-step solution
aligned R₁ &=R₀ (1+ ₁ t )+R₀ (1+ ₂ t ) &=2 R₀ (1+ ₁+ ₂ 2 t ) aligned Comparing with R=R₀(1+ t) = ₁+ ₂ 2
