NEET2008PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
A slab consists of two layers of different materials of the same thickness and having thermal conductivities (K₁ ) and (K₂ ) are connected in series. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the slab is
Options
- A( 2 K₁ K₂ K₁+K₂ )
- B( K₁ K₂ )
- C( K₁ K₂ K₁+K₂ )
- D(K₁+K₂ ).
Correct answer
A. ( 2 K₁ K₂ K₁+K₂ )
Step-by-step solution
aligned & (a) : In series combination, t K₁ + t K₂ = 2 t K & 1 K₁ + 1 K₂ = 2 K K= 2 K₁ K₂ K₁+K₂ . aligned
