A metallic rod of cross-sectional area $9.0\,\,cm^2$ and length $0.54 \,\,m$, with the surface insulated to prevent heat loss, has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in ice-water mixture. The heat conducted through the rod melts the ice at the rate of $1 \,\,gm$ for every $33 \,\,sec$. The thermal conductivity of the rod is ....... $ Wm^{-1} K^{-1}$
$330$
$60$
$600$
$33$
Give definition, unit and dimensional formula of thermal conductivity.
A piece of glass is heated to a high temperature and then allowed to cool. If it cracks, a probable reason for this is the following property of glass
Four rods of silver, copper, brass and wood are of same shape. They are heated together after wrapping a paper on it, the paper will burn first on
For the figure shown, when arc $ACD$ and $ADB$ are made of same material, the heat carried between $A$ and $B$ is $H$ . If $ADB$ is replaced with another material, the heat carried becomes $2H$ . If the temperatures at $A$ and $B$ are fixed at $T_1$ and $T_2$ , what is the ratio of the new conductivity to the old one of $ADB$
In a steady state, the temperature at the end $A$ and $B$ of $20\,cm$ long rod $AB$ are $100\,^oC$ and $0\,^oC$ respectively. The temperature of a point $9\,cm$ from $A$ is....... $^oC$
