In steady state heat conduction, the equations that determine the heat current $j ( r )$ [heat flowing per unit time per unit area] and temperature $T( r )$ in space are exactly the same as those governing the electric field $E ( r )$ and electrostatic potential $V( r )$ with the equivalence given in the table below.

$V( r )$
$j ( r )$
$E ( r )$
We exploit this equivalence to predict the rate $Q$ of total heat flowing by conduction from the surfaces of spheres of varying radii, all maintained at the same temperature. If $\dot{Q} \propto R^{n}$, where $R$ is the radius, then the value of $n$ is
