A wall is made of equally thick layers ...

A wall is made of equally thick layers A and B of different matierals. Thermal conduvtivity of A is twice that of B. In the stedy state, the temperature difference across the wall is `36^(@)C` . The temperature difference across the layer A is

A

`6^@C`

B

`12^@C`

C

`18^@C`

D

`24^@C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`H=(2kA(T_(1)-T))/(L)=(kA(T-T_(2)))/(L)`

`implies 2T_(1)-3T=T_(1)-T_(2)`
`implies T_(1)-T=(T_(1)-T_(2))/(3)`
`=(36)/(3)=12^(@)C`
