The coefficient of the thermal conductivity of copper is 9 times that of steel . In the composite sylindrical bar shown in the figure , what will be the temperature at the junction of copper and steel ?

A

`25^(@)C`

B

`33^(@)C`

C

`75^(@)C`

D

`67^(@)C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


The heat current `=("Thermal P.D"("temp. difference"))/("Thermal resistance")`
`I_("thermal")` Thermal `P.D.xx(sigmaA)/(l)` where `rho=1//sigma`.
`I=((100^(@)C-T)9sigma*A)/(18cm)=((T-0^(@)C)sigmaA)/(6cm)`
`rArr4T=300^(@)CrArrT=75^(@)C`.
