COMEDK · Physics · 12. Thermal Properties of Matter

The coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is 9 times that of steel. In the composite cylindrical bar shown in the figure, what will be the temperature at the junction of copper and steel?


  1. A \(75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(67^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(33^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given situation is shown below Thermal conductivity of copper \(=9 \times\) thermal conductivity of steel \[ K_{c}=9 K_{s} \] Since, both bar are connected in series, hence heat current along the bar will be same. i. e…
