Consider two rods $1$ and $2$ of same length $L$. They have different specific heats $(C_1, C_2)$, thermal conductivities $(K_1, K_2)$ and area of cross-section $(A_1, A_2)$ respectively. Both the rods have temperatures $(T_1, T_2)$ at their ends. If their rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal, then

  • A
    $A_1K_2 = A_2K_1$
  • B
    $A_1K_1 = A_2K_2$
  • C
    $\frac{A_1K_1}{C_1} = \frac{A_2K_2}{C_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{A_1K_2}{C_1} = \frac{A_2K_1}{C_2}$

Rate of flow of heat through a cylindrical rod is $H_1$. The temperatures at the ends of the rod are $T_1$ and $T_2$. If all the dimensions of the rod become double and the temperature difference remains the same,the rate of flow of heat becomes $H_2$. Then:

Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures $T_1 = 300 \ K$ and $T_2 = 100 \ K$,as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is $200 \ K$,then $K_1 / K_2 = \dots$

Two plates of the same area are placed in contact. Their thicknesses as well as their thermal conductivities are in the ratio $2:3$. The outer surface of one plate is maintained at $10^{\circ} C$ and that of the other at $0^{\circ} C$. The temperature at the common surface is (in $^{\circ} C$)

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:
