Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 390

Question: If two rods A and B of equal length L, and different areas of cross-section $ {{A} _{1}} $ and$ A _{2} $ have one end each at temperature$ {{T} _{1}} $ and $ T _{2} $ , have equal rates of flow of heat, then

Options:

A) $ A _{1}=A _{2} $

B) $ \frac{A _{1}}{A _{2}}=\frac{K _{1}}{K _{2}} $

C) $ \frac{A _{1}}{A _{2}}=\frac{K _{2}}{K _{1}} $

D) $ K _{1}=K _{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ \frac{\Delta Q _{1}}{\Delta t}=\frac{\Delta Q _{2}}{\Delta t} $

$ \Rightarrow K _{1}A _{1}\frac{T _{1}-T _{2}}{L _{1}}=K _{2}A _{2}\frac{T _{1}-T _{2}}{L _{2}} $

$ ( L _{1}=L _{2} )\therefore \frac{A _{1}}{A _{2}}=\frac{K _{2}}{K _{1}} $
