Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 445

Question: Four identical rods of same material are joined end to end to form a square. If the temperature difference between the ends of a diagonal is100C , then the temperature difference between the ends of other diagonal will be (where / is the length of each rod)

Options:

A) 0C

B) 100lC

C) 1002lC

D) 100C

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Suppose temperature difference between A and B is 100C and θ\Alpha>θB

Heat current will flow from A to B via path ACB and ADB. Since all therod are identical, so,(Δθ)Ac=(Δθ)AD

(Because heat current H=ΔθR;

here R = same for all) θAθC=θAθDθC=θD i.e., temperature difference between C and D will be zero.
