$A$ cylindrical rod has temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ at its ends. The rate of flow of heat is $Q_1 \ cal/sec$. If all the linear dimensions are doubled while keeping the temperatures constant,then the new rate of flow of heat $Q_2$ will be:

  • A
    $4Q_1$
  • B
    $2Q_1$
  • C
    $\frac{Q_1}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{Q_1}{2}$

Three identical heat conducting rods are connected in series as shown in the figure. The rods on the sides have thermal conductivity $2K$ while that in the middle has thermal conductivity $K$. The left end of the combination is maintained at temperature $3T$ and the right end at $T$. The rods are thermally insulated from outside. In steady state,the temperature at the left junction is $T_1$ and that at the right junction is $T_2$. The ratio $T_1 / T_2$ is
