The two ends of a metal rod are maintained at temperatures $${100^ \circ }C$$ and $${110^ \circ }C.$$ The rate of heat flow in the rod is found to be $$4.0\,J/s.$$ If the ends are maintained at temperatures $${200^ \circ }C$$ and $${210^ \circ }C,$$ the rate of heat flow will be
A.
$$44.0\,J/s$$
B.
$$16.8\,J/s$$
C.
$$8.0\,J/s$$
D.
$$4.0\,J/s$$
Answer :
$$4.0\,J/s$$
Solution :
Here, $$\Delta {T_1} = 110 - 100 = {10^ \circ }C$$
$$\frac{{d{Q_1}}}{{dt}} = 4\,J/s \Rightarrow \Delta {T_2} = 210 - 200 = {10^ \circ }C$$
$$\frac{{d{Q_2}}}{{dt}} = ?$$
As the rate of heat flow is directly proportional to the temperature difference and the temperature difference in both the cases is same i.e. $${10^ \circ }C.$$ So, the same rate of heat will flow in the second case.
Hence, $$\frac{{d{Q_2}}}{{dt}} = 4\,J/s$$

A wall has two layers $$A$$ and $$B,$$ each made of different material. Both the layers have the same thickness. The thermal conductivity of the meterial of $$A$$ is twice that of $$B.$$ Under thermal equilibrium, the temperature difference across the wall is $${36^ \circ }C.$$ The temperature difference across the layer $$A$$ is

Three rods made of same material and having the same cross-section have been joined as shown in the figure. Each rod is of the same length. The left and right ends are kept at $${0^ \circ }C$$ and $${90^ \circ }C$$ respectively. The temperature of the junction of the three rods will be
Two identical rods are connected between two containers one of them is at $${100^ \circ }C$$ and another is at $${0^ \circ }C.$$ If rods are connected in parallel then the rate of melting of ice is $${q_1}\,gm/sec.$$ If they are connected in series then the rate is $${{q_2}}.$$ The ratio $$\frac{{{q_2}}}{{{q_1}}}$$ is
