  • question_answer
    A wire of cross-section area A, length \[{{L}_{1}}\] resistivity \[{{\rho }_{1}}\] and temperature coefficient of resistivity \[{{\alpha }_{1}}\] is connected in series to a second wire of length \[{{L}_{2}}\] resistivity \[{{\rho }_{2}}\], temperature coefficient of resistivity \[{{\alpha }_{2}}\]and the same are A, so that wires carry same current. Total resistance R is independent of temperature for small temperature change if (Thermal expansion effect is negligible)

    A) \[{{\alpha }_{1}}=\,-{{\alpha }_{2}}\]  

    B) \[{{\rho }_{1}}{{L}_{1}}{{\alpha }_{1}}+{{\rho }_{2}}{{L}_{2}}{{\alpha }_{2}}=0\]

    C) \[{{L}_{1}}{{\alpha }_{1}}+{{L}_{2}}{{\alpha }_{2}}=0\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let initial resistance of the wires are \[{{R}_{1}}\]and \[{{R}_{2}}\]respectively. Then \[{{R}_{1}}'+R{{'}_{2}}={{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{R}_{1}}(1+{{\alpha }_{1}}\Delta T)+{{R}_{2}}(1+{{\alpha }_{2}}\Delta T)={{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{R}_{1}}{{a}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}{{a}_{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{{{\rho }_{1}}{{L}_{1}}}{A}{{\alpha }_{1}}+\frac{{{\rho }_{2}}{{L}_{2}}}{A}{{\alpha }_{2}}=0.\] \[\Rightarrow {{\rho }_{1}}{{L}_{1}}{{\alpha }_{1}}+{{\rho }_{2}}{{L}_{2}}{{\alpha }_{2}}=0\].
