If we hold two rods, one is of metal and other is of wood and put one end of each on fire. In which rod will the other end become hot faster?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which rod will have the other end become hot faster when one end of each rod (metal and wood) is placed in fire, we can analyze the thermal conductivity of both materials. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Thermal Conductivity**: - Thermal conductivity is a measure of how well a material can conduct heat. Metals generally have high thermal conductivity, while wood has low thermal conductivity. 2. **Setting Up the Experiment**: ...
