The dimensions of coefficient of thermal conductivity is

A

`ML^(2) T^(-1) K^(-1)`

B

`MLT^(-3) K^(-1)`

C

`MLT^(-2) K^(-1)`

D

`MLT^(-3) K`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

(2) `(Delta Q)/(Delta t) = (K (theta_(2) - theta_(1)) A)/(L), K :` thermal conductivity
`K = (Delta Q)/(Delta t) (L)/((theta_(2) - theta_(2)) A)`
Unit : `(j o u l e . M)/(s. k e l vi n . M^(2)) = (j o u l e)/(s. k e l vi n. m)`
`[K] = (ML^(2) T^(-2))/(T. K.L) = [MLT^(-3) k^(-1)]`
