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.
$$16.8\,J/s$$
B.
$$8.0\,J/s$$
C.
$$4.0\,J/s$$
D.
$$44.0\,J/s$$
Answer :
$$4.0\,J/s$$
Solution :
As the temperature difference $$\Delta T = {10^ \circ }C$$ as well as the thermal resistance is same for both the cases, so thermal current or rate of heat flow will also be same for both the cases.

Releted Question 1
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 of identical cross - sectional area and made from the same metal from the sides of an isosceles triangle $$ABC,$$ right - angled at $$B.$$ The points $$A$$ and $$B$$ are maintained at temperatures $$T$$ and $$\left( {\sqrt 2 } \right)$$ $$T$$ respectively. In the steady state, the temperature of the point $$C$$ is $${T_c}.$$ Assuming that only heat conduction takes place, $$\frac{{{T_c}}}{T}$$ is

$$\frac{1}{{2\left( {\sqrt 2 - 1} \right)}}$$
B.
$$\frac{3}{{\sqrt 2 + 1}}$$
C.
$$\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 \left( {\sqrt 2 - 1} \right)}}$$
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
