    If the temperature difference on the two sides of a wall increases from \[100{}^\circ C\] to\[200{}^\circ C\], its thermal conductivity

    A)  remains unchanged                   

    B)  is doubled

    C)  is halved                            

    D)  becomes four times

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The coefficient of thermal conductivity of a material is the amount of heat flowing in 1 s through a rod of that material of 1 m length and 1 \[{{m}^{2}}\] area of cross-section in the steady state; when the difference of temperatures between the two ends of the rod is \[1{}^\circ C\] and the flow of heat is normal to the end faces of the rod. Coefficient of thermal conductivity K is a constant, whose value depends upon the material of the rod. Hence, even if temperature increases or decreases, its thermal conductivity remains unchanged.
