Two conductors have the same resistance at $0\,^{\circ}C$ but their temperature coefficients of resistance are $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$. The respective temperature coefficient of their series combination is

  • A
    $2(\alpha_1 + \alpha_2)$
  • B
    $\frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_2}{\alpha_1 + \alpha_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\alpha_1 - \alpha_2}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\alpha_1 + \alpha_2}{2}$

The current $I$ flowing through the given circuit will be $.....A$.

$A$ man has some identical resistors,each with a resistance $R = 10 \, \Omega$ and a maximum current rating of $1 \, \text{A}$. He needs to create a circuit with an equivalent resistance of $5 \, \Omega$ that can handle a total current of $4 \, \text{A}$. What is the minimum number of such resistors required?

There are $8$ equal resistances $R$. Two are connected in parallel,and such four groups are connected in series. The total resistance of the system will be:
