Two metallic blocks M 1 and M 2 of same area of cross-section are connected to each other (as shown in figure). If the thermal conductivity of M 2 is K then the thermal conductivity of M 1 will be : [Assume steady state heat conduction]
Options
- A10 K
- B8 K
- C12 . 5 K
- D2 K
Correct answer
B. 8 K
Step-by-step solution
Let thermal conductivity of M 1 be K ' . Using heat current relation for steady state conduction, K ' A 100 - 80 16 = K A 80 - 0 8 ⇒ K ' × 20 16 = K × 80 8 ⇒ K ' = 8 K
