Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A heat source at T = 10³ K is connected to another heat reservoir at T = 10² K by a copper slab which is 1 m thick. Given that the thermal conductivity of copper is 0.1 W K⁻¹ m⁻¹, the energy flux through it in the steady state is
A
120 W m⁻²
B
90 W m⁻²
C
200 W m⁻²
D
65 W m⁻²
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The energy flux is given by , where k is the thermal conductivity, T₁ and T₂ are the temperatures, and d is the thickness. Substituting the given values, W m⁻².
