The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper,mercury,and glass are respectively $K_c, K_m$,and $K_g$ such that $K_c > K_m > K_g$. If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are $X_c, X_m$,and $X_g$,then:

  • A
    $X_c = X_m = X_g$
  • B
    $X_c > X_m > X_g$
  • C
    $X_c < X_m < X_g$
  • D
    $X_m < X_c < X_g$
