  1. A \(\mathrm{Si}, \mathrm{Tu}, \mathrm{Fe}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Ge}, \mathrm{Au}, \mathrm{Ga}\)
  3. C Manganin, constantan, nichrome
  4. D \(\mathrm{Cu}, \mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{Ag}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Manganin, constantan, nichrome

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Wire bound resistors are made by winding the wires of an alloy of manganin, constantan and nichrome. The choice of these materials is directed mostly by the fact that their resistivitics are relatively intensive to temperature. These resistances are typically in range of a fraction of an ohm to a few hundred ohms.
