    The ends of two rods of different material with their thermal conductivities, radii of cross-sections and lengths all in the ratio 1: 2 are maintained at the same temperature difference, if the rate of flow of heat in the larger rod is 4 cal/s, then rate of flow of heat in the shorter rod will be

    A)  1 cal/s                                 

    B)  2 cal/s

    C)  8 cal/s                                 

    D)  16 cal/s

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Rate of flow of heat is equal                                 \[\frac{{{H}_{1}}}{{{H}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{{{K}_{1}}{{A}_{1}}({{\theta }_{1}}-{{\theta }_{2}})}{{{l}_{1}}}}{\frac{{{K}_{2}}{{A}_{1}}({{\theta }_{1}}-{{\theta }_{2}})}{{{l}_{2}}}}\]                                 \[\frac{{{H}_{1}}}{{{H}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{{{K}_{1}}{{A}_{1}}({{\theta }_{1}}-{{\theta }_{2}})}{l}}{\frac{{{K}_{2}}{{A}_{2}}({{\theta }_{1}}-{{\theta }_{2}})}{{{l}_{2}}}}\] But \[({{\theta }_{1}}-{{\theta }_{2}})\] is same. \[\therefore \]  \[K>1\] \[\therefore \]            \[\frac{{{H}_{1}}}{{{H}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{{{K}_{1}}{{A}_{1}}}{{{l}_{1}}}}{\frac{{{K}_{2}}{{A}_{2}}}{{{l}_{2}}}}=\left( \frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}} \right)\,\,\left( \frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}} \right)\,\,\left( \frac{{{A}_{1}}}{{{A}_{2}}} \right)\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{H}_{1}}}{{{H}_{2}}}=\left( \frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}} \right)\,\,\left( \frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}} \right)\,\,{{\left( \frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{1}\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{H}_{1}}}{{{H}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{H}_{1}}=\frac{{{H}_{2}}}{4}=\frac{4}{4}=1\,\,cal/s\]
