Two wires with temperature coefficients of resistance $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ have resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ at $0^{\circ}C$. If they are connected in series,what is the effective temperature coefficient of resistance?

  • A
    $\frac{\alpha_1 + \alpha_2}{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\alpha_1 \alpha_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{R_1 \alpha_1 + R_2 \alpha_2}{R_1 + R_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{R_1 R_2 \alpha_1 \alpha_2}}{\sqrt{R_1^2 + R_2^2}}$
