JEE Main & Advanced Physics Transmission of Heat Question Bank Conduction

  • question_answer
    The thermal conductivity of a material in CGS system is 0.4. In steady state, the rate of flow of heat 10 cal/sec-cm2, then the thermal gradient will be                                                             [MP PMT 1989]

    A)            \[10{}^\circ C/cm\]            

    B)            \[12{}^\circ C/cm\]

    C)            \[25{}^\circ C/cm\]            

    D)            \[20{}^\circ C/cm\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t}=\frac{KA\,\Delta \theta }{\Delta x}\]Þ Thermal gradient \[\frac{\Delta \theta }{\Delta x}\]            \[=\frac{(\Delta Q/\Delta t)}{K}=\frac{10}{0.4}=25{}^\circ C/cm\]
