Thermal Properties of Matter

  1. The two ends of a rod of length L and a uniform cross-sectional area A are kept at two temperatures T1 and T2 (T1 > T2). The rate of heat transfer, through the rod in a steady state is given by:
    1. dQ
      =
      K(T1 - T2)
      dtLA
    2. dQ
      = kLA (T1 - T2)
      dt
    3. dQ
      =
      KA(T1 - T2)
      dtL
    4. dQ
      =
      KL(T1 - T2)
      dtA
Correct Option: C

dQ
=
kA(T1 - T2)
dtL

[(T1 - T2) is the temperature difference]
