Which of the following circular rods, (given radius and length ) each made of the same material and whose ends are maintained at the same temperature will conduct most heat?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Heat conduction through a rod is given by
...(i)
(a) When (b) When $r=2 r_0 ; l=l_0\begin{aligned} & H \propto \frac{\left(2 r_0\right)^2}{l_0} \\ \Rightarrow \quad & H \propto \frac{4 r_0^2}{l_0}\end{aligned}$$r=r_0 ; l=l_0 H \propto \frac{r_0^2}{l_0}r=r_0 ; l=2 l_0 H \propto \frac{r_0^2}{2 l_0}$
It is obvious that heat conduction will be more in case (b).
