COMEDK · Physics · 12. Thermal Properties of Matter
A compound slab is made of two parallel plates of copper and brass of the same thickness and having thermal conductivities in the ratio \(4: 1\). The free face of copper is at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The temperature of the interface is \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What is the temperature of the free face of brass?
- A \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
- B \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
- C \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
- D \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given, \(K_{\text {copper }}: K_{\text {brass }}=4: 1\) \[ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{K_{\text {copper }}}{K_{\text {brass }}}=\frac{4}{1} \] Let the temperature of the free surface of brass \(=\theta\) Rate of flow of heat will be equal in both the plates as connected in series.…
