10-2.Transmission of Heat
medium
There are two identical vessels filled with equal amounts of ice. The vessels are of different metals., If the ice melts in the two vessels in $20$ and $35$ minutes respectively, the ratio of the coefficients of thermal conductivity of the two metals is
A
$4:7$
B
$7:4$
C
$16:49$
D
$49:16$
Solution
(b) $Q = \frac{{KA({\theta _1} – {\theta _2})}}{l}t = $ $ \Rightarrow {K_1}{t_1} = {K_2}{t_2}$ $ \Rightarrow \frac{{{K_1}}}{{{K_2}}} = \frac{{{t_2}}}{{{t_1}}} = \frac{{35}}{{20}} = \frac{7}{4}$
(As $Q$ , $l$ , $A$ and $({\theta _1} – {\theta _2})$ are same)
