AIIMS 2001 Physics Heat Transfer MCQ Question

When the rod of iron is cut into 4 equal pieces, each piece will still experience the same differential temperature as the entire rod. The total heat transfer of 1 Kcal is not divided among the pieces; rather, each piece will still allow the same amount of heat to flow through it due to the properties of conduction. Therefore, the heat flowing through each piece remains 1 Kcal. The other options (1/2 Kcal, 1/4 Kcal, and 1/15 Kcal) suggest that the heat is divided among the pieces, which is incorrect in this context. Hence, the correct answer is C) 1 Kcal.
