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
    $t_2 / t_1$
