Figure shows a copper rod joined to a steel rod. The rods have equal length and equal crosssectional area. The free end of the copper rod is kept at 0^ C and that of steel rod is kept at 100^ C . Find the temperature of the junction of the rod. Conductivity of copper =390 ~W / m ^ C Conductivity of steel =46 ~W / m ^ C
Options
- A18.01^ C
- B26^ C
- C10.6^ C
- D20^ C
Correct answer
C. 10.6^ C
Step-by-step solution
Heat current in first rod (copper) = 390 A (0- ) Here is temperature of the junction and A & are area and length of copper rod. Heat current in second rod (steel) = 46 A ( -100) In series combination, heat current remains same. So, array l 390 A (0- ) = 46 A ( -100) -390 ==46 -4600 436 =4600 =10.6^ C array
