The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper, mercury and glass are respectively K_c, K_m and K_g such that K_c > K_m> K_g . If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are (T_g)_c, (T_g)_m and (T_g)_g then

The thermal conductivity of steel is 0.026 k cal//ms K. Find the temperature diference between two sides of a steel plate 4 cm thick, when heat is transmitted through the plate at the rate of 400 k cal per minute per squar metre of steady state.

A cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two reservoirs of heat at its two ends conducts an amount of heat Q in time t. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of half the radius of the original rod. What is the amount of heat conducted by the new rod, when placed in thermal contact with the two reservoirs in time?

Two rectangular blocks, having identical dimensions can be arranged either in configuration-I or in configuration- Il as shown in the figure. One of the blocks has thermal conductivity K and the other 2K. The temperature difference between the ends along the x-axis is the same in both the configurations. It takes 9 s to transport a certain amount of heat from the hot and to the cold end in the configuration-I. The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration-II is

A copper wire and steel wire both have the same length and radius are joined end to end, when the composite wire is hung from a rigid support, and the load attached at the free end, the increase in the length is found to be 1cm. Find the increase in length of copper steel wire. (Y for copper = 1.2 xx 10^11 N//m^2 , Y for steel = 2.1 xx 10^11 N//m^2)

Three rods of copper, brass and steel are welded together to form a Y-shaped structure. Area of cross-section of each rod =4cm^2 . End of copper rod is maintained at 100^@C whereas ends of brass and steel are kept at O^@C . Lengths of the copper, brass and steel rods are 46, 13 and 12 cm respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surroundings except at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are 0.92, 0.26 and 0.12 CGS units respectively. Rate of heat flow through copper rod is

Material: Copper and aluminium wires, glass rod,rubber. Make connection as shown in figure 3.8. First connect a copper wire betweenpoints A and B and measure the currentinthe circuit.Thenin place of the copper wire, connect aluminium wire, glass rod, rubber, etc one at a time and measure the current each time. Compare the values of the current in different cases

Two rods A and B of different materials are welded together shown in figure. Their thermal conductivities are K_1 and K_2 . The thermal conductivity of the composite rod will be:

Apparatus: Bars of stainless steel, aluminium and copper, a candle, a burner, pins, etc. : Procedure: Take stainless steel (or iron), copper and aluminium bars, each about 30 cm long and having the same shape. Apply wax spots with the help of candle at a distance of 2 cm from each other on all the three bars. Stick a pin in each of these spots so that it is upright. Now insert the ends of all three bars into a flame at the same time. for a while. What do you see? From which bar do the pins start falling first? Why?
