Question

An engineer needs a resistor with a zero overall temperature
coefficient of resistance at 20.0°C. She designs a pair of circular
cylinders, one of carbon and one of Nichrome as shown in
Figure P17.32. The device must have an overall resistance of
R1 + R2 = 10.0 Ω independent of temperature and a uniform
radius of r = 1.50 mm. Ignore thermal expansion of the cylinders
and assume both are always at the same temperature.
(a) Can she meet the design goal with this method? (b) If so,
state what you can determine about the lengths L1 and L2 of
each segment. If not, explain.
