Thermal Properties Of Matter Ques 10

10. The two ends of a metal rod are maintained at temperatures $100^{\circ} $ $C$ and $110^{\circ} $ $C$. The rate of heat flow in the rod is found to be $4.0 $ $J / s$. If the ends are maintained at temperatures $200^{\circ} C$ and $210^{\circ} C$, the rate of heat flow will be

[2015]

(a) $16.8 $ $J / s$

(b) $8.0 $ $J / s$

(c) $4.0 $ $J / s$

(d) $44.0 $ $J / s$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 10.(c)

Solution:

  1. (c) As the temperature difference $\Delta T=10^{\circ} C$ as well as the thermal resistance is same for both the cases, so thermal current or rate of heat flow will also be same for both the cases.
