Two rods made...

Question

Two rods made of same material, have same thermal conductivities and area of cross-section. It is observed that to conduct same amount of heat between temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ , rod $1$ takes twice the time as the other. Find the ratio of their lengths.

Solution

The correct option is A $2 : 1$
Given,
$k_{1} = k_{2}, A_{1} = A_{2}, Q_{1} = Q_{2}$ and $t_{1} = 2 t_{2}$
We know that,
$Q = \frac{k A (T_{1} - T_{2}) t}{l}$
$∴ \frac{Q_{1}}{Q_{2}} = \frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} \times \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} \times \frac{t_{1}}{t_{2}} \times \frac{l_{2}}{l_{1}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{t_{1}}{t_{2}} = \frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}} = \frac{2}{1}$
$∴$ option $(a)$ is correct.

The correct option is A 2:1Given, k1=k2, A1=A2, Q1=Q2 and t1=2t2 We know that, Q=kA(T1−T2)tl ∴Q1Q2=k1k2×A1A2×t1t2×l2l1 ⇒t1t2=l1l2 ⇒l1l2=21 ∴ option (a) is correct.
