Two wires of resistance $R_1$ and $R_2$ have temperature coefficients of resistance $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$,respectively. These are joined in series. The effective temperature coefficient of resistance is

  • 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
    $\frac{\sqrt{R_1 R_2 \alpha_1 \alpha_2}}{\sqrt{R_1^2 + R_2^2}}$
