Two rods (one semi-circular and other straight) of same material and of same cross-sectional area are joined as shown in the figure. The points A and B are maintained at different temperature. The ratio of the heat transferred through a cross-section of a semi-circular rod to the heat transferred through a cross-section of the straight rod in a given time is
Options
- A2:
- B1: 2
- C: 2
- D3: 2
Correct answer
A. 2:
Step-by-step solution
d Q d t = K A I , for both rods K, A and are same d Q d t 1 l so (d Q / d t)_ semi-circular (d Q / d t)_ straight = l_ straight l_ semi-circular = 2 r r = 2
