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.
