$A$ rod $A$ of length $40\, cm$ has a temperature difference of $80^\circ C$ at its two ends. Another rod $B$ of length $60\, cm$ has a temperature difference of $90^\circ C$ at its ends. Both rods have the same area of cross-section. If the rate of flow of heat is the same for both,then the ratio of their thermal conductivities $(K_A : K_B)$ will be:

  • A
    $3:4$
  • B
    $4:3$
  • C
    $1:2$
  • D
    $2:1$

Two metal rods $P$ and $Q$ have the same length and the same temperature difference between their ends. Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$,and their cross-sectional areas are $A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively. If the rate of flow of heat through rod $Q$ is three times that in rod $P$,then:

In a steady state, the graph between temperature $(\theta)$ and distance $(x)$ from the hot end is:

Why does a metal bar appear hotter than a wooden bar at the same temperature? Equivalently,it also appears cooler than a wooden bar if they are both colder than room temperature.
