NEET 2013 Physics Conduction MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Two metal rods 1 and 2 of same lengths have same temperature difference between their ends. Their thermal conductivities are K₁ and K₂, and cross sectional areas A₁ and A₂, respectively. If the rate of the heat conduction in 1 is four times that in 2, then:
A
K₁A₁ = 4K₂A₂
B
K₁A₁ = 2K₂A₂
C
4K₁A₁ = K₂A₂
D
K₁A₁ = K₂A₂
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The rate of heat conduction is given by Q/t = KA(ΔT)/L. Since the lengths and temperature differences are the same, the ratio of conductivities and areas must satisfy K₁A₁ = 4K₂A₂.
