NEET Physics Transmission of Heat NEET PYQ-Transmission Of Heat

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

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

    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 \[\frac{dQ}{dt}\]
