The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions under which the resistance of the series combination of two resistors \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) remains constant with temperature changes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Temperature Coefficients**: - The temperature coefficient of resistance for \( R_1 \) is \( \alpha \) (positive), meaning its resistance increases with temperature. - The temperature coefficient for \( R_2 \) is \( -\beta \) (negative), meaning its resistance decreases with temperature. 2. **Resistance Change with Temperature**: - The resistance of \( R_1 \) at temperature \( t \) can be expressed as: \[ R_1' = R_1 (1 + \alpha t) \] - The resistance of \( R_2 \) at temperature \( t \) can be expressed as: \[ R_2' = R_2 (1 - \beta t) \] 3. **Total Resistance in Series**: - The total resistance \( R_s \) of the series combination of \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) is: \[ R_s = R_1' + R_2' = R_1(1 + \alpha t) + R_2(1 - \beta t) \] 4. **Setting Up the Equation**: - Substitute the expressions for \( R_1' \) and \( R_2' \): \[ R_s = R_1(1 + \alpha t) + R_2(1 - \beta t) \] - Expanding this gives: \[ R_s = R_1 + R_2 + R_1 \alpha t - R_2 \beta t \] 5. **Condition for Constant Resistance**: - For the total resistance \( R_s \) to remain constant with temperature, the coefficient of \( t \) must equal zero: \[ R_1 \alpha - R_2 \beta = 0 \] 6. **Finding the Ratio**: - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ R_1 \alpha = R_2 \beta \] - Dividing both sides by \( R_2 \) and \( \alpha \): \[ \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\beta}{\alpha} \] ### Final Result: Thus, the resistance of the series combination of \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) will not change with temperature if: \[ \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\beta}{\alpha} \]
