$A$ rod of length $l$ with thermally insulated lateral surface is made of a material whose thermal conductivity $K$ varies as $K = C/T$,where $C$ is a constant. The ends are at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$. The heat current density is

  • A
    $C \ln \left( \frac{T_2}{T_1} \right) / l$
  • B
    $\frac{C}{l} \ln \left( \frac{T_2}{T_1} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{C}{l} \ln (T_1 T_2)$
  • D
    $Cl \ln \left( \frac{T_2}{T_1} \right)$
