Four rods of identical cross-sectional area and made from the same metal form the sides of a square. The temperatures of two diagonally opposite points $A$ and $B$ are $\sqrt{2}T$ and $T$ respectively in the steady state. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place,what will be the temperature difference between the other two points $C$ and $D$?

  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{2}T$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} + 1}T$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    None of these
