Two different conductors have the same resistance at $0\,^{\circ}C$. The resistance of the first conductor at $t_1\,^{\circ}C$ is equal to the resistance of the second conductor at $t_2\,^{\circ}C$. What is the ratio of their temperature coefficients of resistance $\alpha_1 / \alpha_2$?

  • A
    $t_1 / t_2$
  • B
    $(t_2 - t_1) / t_2$
  • C
    $(t_2 - t_1) / t_1$
  • D
    $t_2 / t_1$

$A$ cylindrical resistor is connected to a battery with emf $5 \ V$. The resistance per unit length varies as $\rho(x) = \rho_0 \left(\frac{x}{L}\right)^\alpha$,where $\rho_0$ and $\alpha$ are constants and $x$ is the distance from one end of the resistor. The product $\rho_0 L$ is $10 \ \Omega$,where $L$ is the length of the resistor. If the thermal power generated by the resistor is $20 \ W$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:
