AIPMT PRELIMS 2005 Physics Conduction MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Which of the following circular rods, (given radius r and length l) each made of the same material and whose ends are maintained at the same temperature will conduct most heat?
A
r = 2r₀; l = 2l₀
B
r = 2r₀; l = l₀
C
r = r₀; l = l₀
D
r = r₀; l = 2l₀
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The heat conducted is proportional to the cross-sectional area and inversely proportional to the length. Increasing the radius increases the area, thus increasing heat conduction.
