Two conductors have the same resistance at 
but their temperature coefficients of resistance are 
and 
. The respective temperature coefficients of their series and parallel combinations are nearly
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Let 
be the initial resistance of both conductors
At temperature q their resistance will be,
and 
for, series combination, 
where 
for parallel combination, 
where, 
as 
and 
are small quantities
is negligible
or 
as 
is negligible
