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

    A)  remains unchanged

    B)  will be doubled       

    C)  will be halved   

    D)  become four times    

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The coefficient of thermal conductivity of a material is defined as the amount of heat flowing in \[{{1}_{s}}\] through a rod of the material of 1m length and \[1{{m}^{2}}\]area of cross-section in the steady state, if the difference of temperature between the two ends of the rod is \[{{1}^{o}}C\]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. Therefore even if temperature increase or decreases, its thermal conductivity remains unchanged.
