Heat is flowing through two cylindrical rods of the same material. The diameters of the rods are in the ratio $1 : 2$ and their lengths are in the ratio $2 : 1$. If the temperature difference between their ends is the same, then the ratio of the amounts of heat conducted through per unit time will be
$1:1$
$2:1$
$1:4$
$1:8$
Two identical square rods of metal are welded end to end as shown in figure $(i)$ , $20$ calories of heat flows through it in $4$ minutes. If the rods are welded as shown in figure $(ii)$, the same amount of heat will flow through the rods in ....... $\min.$
A cylindrical steel rod of length $0.10 \,m$ and thermal conductivity $50 \,Wm ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ is welded end to end to copper rod of thermal conductivity $400 \,Wm ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ and of the same area of cross-section but $0.20 \,m$ long. The free end of the steel rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and that of the copper rod at $0^{\circ} C$. Assuming that the rods are perfectly insulated from the surrounding, the temperature at the junction of the two rods is ................... $^{\circ} C$
A piece of glass is heated to a high temperature and then allowed to cool. If it cracks, a probable reason for this is the following property of glass
What is the temperature (in $^oC$) of the steel-copper junction in the steady state of the system shown in Figure Length of the steel rod $=15.0\; cm ,$ length of the copper rod $=10.0\; cm ,$ temperature of the furnace $=300^{\circ} C ,$ temperature of the other end $=0^{\circ} C .$ The area of cross section of the steel rod is twice that of the copper rod. (Thermal conductivity of steel $=50.2 \;J s ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1} ;$ and of copper $\left.=385 \;J s ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1}\right)$
A constant potential difference is applied to the ends of a graphite rod, whose resistance decreases with a rise of temperature. The rod can be $(1)$ covered with asbestos or $(2)$ left open to atmosphere. Answer for steady state.
