  • A
    $4:7$
  • B
    $7:4$
  • C

$Assertion :$ $A$ brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.
$Reason :$ The thermal conductivity of brass is more than the thermal conductivity of wood.

Heat current is maximum in which of the following (rods are of identical dimension)?

Two plates of equal area are placed in contact with each other. Their thicknesses are $2.0 \ cm$ and $5.0 \ cm$. The temperature of the outer surface of the first plate is $-20^{\circ}C$ and the temperature of the outer surface of the second plate is $20^{\circ}C$. If the ratio of their thermal conductivities is $2:5$,find the temperature of the contact surface in $^{\circ}C$.

Consider two rods $1$ and $2$ of same length $L$. They have different specific heats $(C_1, C_2)$, thermal conductivities $(K_1, K_2)$ and area of cross-section $(A_1, A_2)$ respectively. Both the rods have temperatures $(T_1, T_2)$ at their ends. If their rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal, then

Rate of flow of heat through a cylindrical rod is $H_1$. The temperatures at the ends of the rod are $T_1$ and $T_2$. If all the dimensions of the rod become double and the temperature difference remains the same, and if the rate of flow of heat becomes $H_2$, then $H_2 =$
