The thermal conductivity of a rod depends on

Assertion : If thermal conductivity of a rod is 5 , then its thermal resistively is 0.2 Reason : Thermal conductivity = (1)/("thermal resistivity")

The area of cross-section of rod is given by A= A_(0) (1+alphax) where A_(0) & alpha are constant and x is the distance from one end. If the thermal conductivity of the material is K . What is the thermal resistancy of the rod if its length is l_(0) ?

The unit of thermal conductivity is :

Assertion : Greater is the coefficient of thermal conductivity of a material, smaller is the thermal resistance of a rod of that material. Reason : Thermal resistance is the ratio of temperature difference between the ends of the conductor and rate of flow of heat.

A: The thermal conductivity of a body depends on its material and dimensions. R: Thermal conductivity is proportional to length and inversely proportional to area cross-section of body.
