AIPMT MAINS 2009 Physics Conduction MCQ Question
The two ends of a rod of length L and a uniform cross-sectional area A are kept at two temperatures T₁ and T₂ (T₁ > T₂). The rate of heat transfer, (dQ/dt) through the rod in a steady state is given by:
dQ/dt = (k(T₁ - T₂))/LA
dQ/dt = kLA(T₁ - T₂)
dQ/dt = (kA(T₁ - T₂))/L
dQ/dt = (k(L(T₁ - T₂)))/A
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The rate of heat transfer through a rod in steady state is given by Fourier's law of heat conduction: dQ/dt = kA(T₁ - T₂)/L, where k is the thermal conductivity.
