KCET2007PhysicsThermal Properties of Matter
Two identical rods A C and C B made of two different metals having thermal conductivities in the ratio 2: 3 are kept in contact with each other at the end C as shown in the figure. A is at 100^ C and B is at 25^ C . Then the junction C is at
Options
- A55^ C
- B60^ C
- C75^ C
- D50^ C
Correct answer
A. 55^ C
Step-by-step solution
Let the temperature of the junction be . Heat flow through the rod is given by aligned & Q &= K A ( ₁- ₂ ) d & Here, K₁(100- ) &=K₂( -25) & K₁ K₂ &= -25 100- & But & K₁ K &= 2 3 (given) & 2 3 &= -25 100- & 3 -75 &=200-2 & 5 &=275 & &=55^ C aligned
