Define coefficient of thermal conductivity and temperature gradient.

For an Ideal conductor, thermal resistance is

Heat is flowing through two cylindrical rods of the same material. The diameters of the rods are in the ratio 1 : 2 and their lengths are in the ratio 2 : 1. If the temperature difference between their ends is the same, then the ratio of the amounts of heat conducted through them per unit time will be:

(A) : When temperature difference across the two sides of a wall is increased, in steady state, its temperature gradient increases. ( R) : Thermal conductivity linearly depends on temperature difference between the ends.
