The two ends of a uniform rod of thermal conductivity k are maintained at different but constant temperatures. The temperature gradientat any point on the rod is `(d theta)/(dl)`(equal to the difference in temperature per unit length). The heat flow per unit time per unit cross-section of the rod is `l` then which of the following statements is/are correct:

A

`(d theta)/(dl)` is the same for all points on the rod.

B

l will decrease as we move from higher to lower temperature.

C

`l=k. (d theta)/(dl)`

D

All the above options are incorrect.
