If K1{K}_{1} and K2{K}_{2} are the thermal conductivities L1{L}_{1} and L2{L}_{2} are the lengths and A1{A}_{1} and A2{A}_{2} are the cross sectional areas of steel and copper rods respectively such that K2K1=9,A1A2=2,L1L2=2\dfrac{{K}_{2}}{{K}_{1}} = 9, \dfrac{{A}_{1}}{{A}_{2}} = 2, \dfrac{{L}_{1}}{{L}_{2}} = 2. Then, for the arrangement as shown in the figure. The value of temperature TT of the steel - copper junction in the steady state will be

  2. B14°C14 ° C
  3. C45°C45 ° C
  4. D150°C150 ° C

Correct answer

C. 45°C45 ° C

Step-by-step solution

If K _ 1 and K _ 2 are the thermal conductivities L _ 1 and L _ 2 are the lengths and A _ 1 and A _ 2 are the cross

At steady state, the heat conducted by both the rods will be the same.

The rate of heat conduction is given by, dQdt=KAl∆T\dfrac{d Q}{d t} = \dfrac{KA}{l} ∆ T. Therefore, if the temperature of the junction is TT,

K1A1l1(T1−T)=K2A2l2(T−T2)\dfrac{{K}_{1}{A}_{1}}{{l}_{1}}\left({T}_{1} - T\right) = \dfrac{{K}_{2}{A}_{2}}{{l}_{2}}\left(T - {T}_{2}\right)

⇒450−TT−0=K2A2l1K1A1l2=9×12×2⇒ \dfrac{450 - T}{T - 0} = \dfrac{{K}_{2}{A}_{2}{l}_{1}}{{K}_{1}{A}_{1}{l}_{2}} = 9 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 2

⇒450−T=9T⇒T=45°C⇒ 450 - T = 9T ⇒ T = 45 ° C
