Now I'm really confused. The answer I got matches the one in the book, but this way gives a different answer. Where did I go wrong? Any hints?

Ok, I think I figured it out. The given solution was way too simplified, and I'm still not sure how the author worked it out, but here's what I got: From the given equation we know Rt=R0(1+α0t) --> R1,A=R0,A(1+α0,A*1) and because A and B are in series we also know that...

Homework Statement Two wires A and B are connected in series at 0oC and resistance of B is 3.5 times that of A. The resistance temperature coefficient of A is 0.04% and that of the combination is 0.1%. Find the resistance temperature coefficient of B. Homework Equations Rt=R0(1+α0t)...
