One end of a metal rod of length $1.0 m$ and area of cross section $100c{m^2}$ is maintained at ${100^o}C.$If the other end of the rod is maintained at ${0^o}C$, the quantity of heat transmitted through the rod per minute is (Coefficient of thermal conductivity of material of rod =$100W/m-K$)

Surface of the lake is at $2^{\circ} C$. The temperature of the bottom of the lake is ....... $^{\circ} C$

The two ends of a rod of length $L$ and a uniform cross-sectional area $A$ are kept at two temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2 (T_1 > T_2)$. The rate of heat transfer,$\frac{ dQ }{dt}$, through the rod in a steady state is given by

Snow is more heat insulating than ice, because

A brass boiler has a base area of $0.15\; m ^{2}$ and thickness $1.0\; cm .$ It boils water at the rate of $6.0\; kg / min$ when placed on a gas stove. Estimate the temperature (in $^oC$) of the part of the flame in contact with the boiler. Thermal conductivity of brass $=109 \;J s ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1} ;$ Heat of vaporisation of water $=2256 \times 10^{3}\; J kg ^{-1}$

The quantity of heat which crosses unit area of a metal plate during conduction depends upon
