An aluminum αAl=4×10−3/0C wire resistance ‘R1 ’ and carbon wire αC=-0.5×10−3/0C resistance ‘ R2’ are connected in series to have a resultant resistance of 18 ohm at all temperatures . The values of R1 and R2 in ohms

A
2,16
B
12,4
C
13,5
D
14,4

Solution:

Given $α_{Al} = 4 \times 10^{- 3} /^{0} C α_{C} = 0 .5 \times 10^{- 3} /^{0} C$

$R_{1} + R_{2} = 18 Ω, R_{1} α_{Al} = R_{2} α_{C}$
$\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} = \frac{α_{C}}{α_{A i}} = \frac{0 .5}{4} = \frac{1}{8} \Rightarrow R_{2} = 8 R_{1}$

$R_{1} + R_{2} = 18 \Rightarrow 9 R_{1} = 18 \Rightarrow R_{1} = 2 Ω, R_{2} = 16 Ω$
