10-2.Transmission of Heat
medium

Which of the following cylindrical rods will conduct most heat, when their ends are maintained at the same steady temperature

A

Length $1 m$ ; radius $1 cm$

B

Length $2 m$ ; radius $1 cm$

C

Length $2 m$ ; radius $2 cm$

D

Length $1 m$ ; radius $2 cm$

Solution

(d)$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{{KA\,\Delta \theta }}{l}$==> $\frac{Q}{t} \propto \frac{A}{l} \propto \frac{{{r^2}}}{l}$
$\frac{{{r^2}}}{l}$ is maximum in option $(d)$ , hence it will conduct more heat.
