Two concentric spheres of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ are maintained at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. The rate of radial heat flow between the two concentric spheres is proportional to:

  • A
    $\frac{(r_2 - r_1)}{(r_1 r_2)}$
  • B
    $\ln\left(\frac{r_2}{r_1}\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{r_1 r_2}{(r_2 - r_1)}$
  • D
    $(r_2 - r_1)$

Same quantity of ice is filled in each of the two metal containers $P$ and $Q$ having the same size, shape, and wall thickness but made of different materials. The containers are kept in identical surroundings. The ice in $P$ melts completely in time $t_{1}$ whereas in $Q$ it takes a time $t_{2}$. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials of $P$ and $Q$ is

Two plates of equal area are placed in contact. Their thicknesses are $2$ and $3$ units respectively.
