NEET2017PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
Two rods A and B of different materials are welded together as shown in figure. Their thermal conductivities are K 1 and K 2 . The thermal conductivity of the composite rod will be
Options
- AK 1 + K 2 2
- B3 K 1 + K 2 2
- CK 1 + K 2
- D2 K 1 + K 2
Correct answer
A. K 1 + K 2 2
Step-by-step solution
Thermal current H = H 1 + H 2 = K 1 A T 1 - T 2 d + K 2 A T 1 - T 2 d K E Q 2 A T 1 - T 2 d = A T 1 - T 2 d K 1 + K 2 K E Q = K 1 + K 2 2
