  • question_answer
                    Consider two rods of same length and differed specific heats \[({{s}_{1}},\,\,{{s}_{2}})\], thermal conductivity \[({{K}_{1}},\,{{K}_{2}})\] and areas of cross section \[({{A}_{1}},{{A}_{2}})\] and both having temperatures  \[({{T}_{1}},\,{{T}_{2}})\] at their ends. If their rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal, then:

    A)                 \[{{\text{K}}_{\text{1}}}{{A}_{1}}={{K}_{2}}{{A}_{2}}\]

    B)                 \[\frac{{{K}_{1}}\,{{A}_{1}}}{{{s}_{1}}},\frac{{{K}_{2}}{{A}_{2}}}{{{s}_{2}}}\]

    C)                 \[{{K}_{2}}{{A}_{1}}={{K}_{1}}{{A}_{2}}\]              

    D)                 \[\frac{{{K}_{2}}{{A}_{1}}}{{{s}_{2}}}=\frac{{{K}_{1}}{{A}_{2}}}{{{s}_{1}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Rate of loss of heat by conduction is.                 \[H=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}=K\,\,A\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}}{l} \right)\]                 For first rod.                 \[{{H}_{1}}={{K}_{1}}\,\,{{A}_{1}}\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}} \right)\]                 For second rod,                 \[{{H}_{2}}={{K}_{2}}{{A}_{2}}\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}}{{{l}_{2}}} \right)\]                 but \[{{l}_{1}}={{l}_{2}}\] and \[{{H}_{2}}={{H}_{2}}\]                 So, we have                 \[{{K}_{1}}{{A}_{1}}\,({{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}})={{K}_{2}}{{A}_{2}}\,({{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}})\]                 or            \[{{K}_{1}}{{A}_{1}}={{K}_{2}}{{A}_{2}}\]                 Note:    Heat transfer occurs only between regions that are at different temperatures, and the rate of heat flow is \[\frac{dQ}{dt}\].
