$A$ wire of cross-section area $A$,length $L_1$,resistivity $\rho_1$ and temperature coefficient of resistivity $\alpha_1$ is connected to a second wire of length $L_2$,resistivity $\rho_2$,temperature coefficient of resistivity $\alpha_2$ and the same area $A$,so that the wires carry the same current. The total resistance $R$ is independent of temperature for small temperature changes 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
