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)
