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

  • [AIPMT 2009]

  • A

    $\frac{{k\left( {{T_1} - {T_2}} \right)}}{{LA}}$

  • B

    $kLA(T_1-T_2)$

  • C

    $\;\frac{{kA\left( {{T_1} - {T_2}} \right)}}{L}$

  • D

    $\;\frac{{kL\left( {{T_1} - {T_2}} \right)}}{A}$
