Transmission Of Heat Question 41

Question: The thickness of a metallic plate is 0.4 cm. The temperature between its two surfaces is $ 20^{o}C $ . The quantity of heat flowing per second is 50 calories from $ 5cm^{2} $ area. In CGS system, the coefficient of thermal conductivity will be

Options:

A) 0.4

B) 0.6

C) 0.2

D) 0.5

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \frac{Q}{t}=\frac{KA(\Delta \theta )}{l} $

Therefore $ 50=\frac{5\times 20\ K}{0.4}\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 $
