Question

Figure shows three containers. The rightmost container contains water (heat capacity 5 cal/C), initially at temperature 100C. The middle container contains water maintained at 80C with the help of a heater. The container at the left hand side contains ice at 0C. There are two heat conducting rods A and B both having thermal resistance equal to 10C s/cal. Disregard any heat loss in the surrounding.


The temperature of water in the rightmost container decreases with time. The rate with which the ice melts in the leftmost container

Solution

The correct option is C will remain steady

The thermal current flowing into the ice container is
i3=ΔTARA=80010=8 cal/s=dQdt

Therefore dQdt=dmdtlf=8 cal/s

Rate at which ice melts will remain constant.
