Two rectangular blocks, having identical dimensions, can be arranged either in configuration or in configuration as shown in the figure. One of the blocks has thermal conductivity and the other . The temperature difference between the ends along the x-axis is the same in both the configurations. It takes to transport a certain amount of heat from the hot end to cold end in the configuration . The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
In the first combination, the 2 blocks are having thermal conductivity and respectively are in series combination.
Therefore the Keq will be
and the Keq in case of parallel combination is 3K
