What is the SI unit of thermal resistance?
What is the SI unit of thermal resistance?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Thermal resistance () is defined using the analogy to Ohm's law for heat transfer:
where is the heat current (rate of heat flow) is the temperature difference.
Rearranging the formula gives:
The SI unit of temperature difference () is Kelvin ().
The SI unit of heat current () is Watt ().
Therefore, the SI unit of thermal resistance is .
