The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper,mercury,and glass are respectively $K_c, K_m$,and $K_g$ such that $K_c > K_m > K_g$. If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are $X_c, X_m$,and $X_g$,then:

  • A
    $X_c = X_m = X_g$
  • B
    $X_c > X_m > X_g$
  • C
    $X_c < X_m < X_g$
  • D
    $X_m < X_c < X_g$

Four identical conducting rods are joined to form a square $ABCD$. The temperatures of junctions $A, B,$ and $C$ are maintained at $100^{\circ}C, 40^{\circ}C,$ and $0^{\circ}C$ respectively. Choose the $\text{INCORRECT}$ statement for this arrangement in a steady state. (The value of $\frac{KA}{L} = 1 \text{ J}/(s \cdot ^{\circ}C)$).

Two rods $A$ and $B$ of the same cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ are connected in series between a source $(T_1 = 100^{\circ}C)$ and a sink $(T_2 = 0^{\circ}C)$ as shown in the figure. The rods are laterally insulated. If $G_A$ and $G_B$ are the temperature gradients across rod $A$ (thermal conductivity $3K$) and rod $B$ (thermal conductivity $K$),then:

The thickness of a uniform rectangular metal plate is $5 \ mm$ and the area of each surface is $5 \ cm^2$. In steady state,the temperature difference between the two surfaces of the plate is $14^{\circ} C$. If the heat flowing through the plate in one second from one surface to the other surface is $42 \ J$,then the thermal conductivity of the metal is

The 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,the ratio of the rate of flow of heat through them will be:
