Solution
The correct options are B the cross-sectional area of the rod D the temperature difference (θ2−θ1) between the ends of the rod
The rate of heat flow is directly proportional to cross-sectional area of rod, and the temperature difference between the ends of the rod. It is inversely proportional to length of rod and directly proportional to square of diameter.
The rate of flow of heat is given by P=Qt=KA(θ2−θ1)l Where K is the thermal conductivity, A is the cross-sectional area and l the length of the rod. Hence, the correct choice are (c) and (d).
