Copper and carbon wires are connected in series and the combined resistor is kept at 0⁰C. Assuming the combined resistance does not vary with temperature, the ratio of the resistances of carbon and copper wires at 0⁰C is (Temperature coefficients of resistivity of copper and carbon respectively are 4×10⁻³/ ⁰ C and -0.5×10⁻³/ ⁰ C )
