JEE Advanced · Physics · 12. Thermal Properties

Two rectangular blocks, having identical dimensions, can be arranged either in configuration I or in configuration II as shown in the figure. One of the blocks has thermal conductivity K and the other 2 K . 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 end to cold end in the configuration I . The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration II is

  1. A 2.0 s
  2. B 3.0 s
  3. C 4.5 s
  4. D 6.0 s
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2.0 s

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the first combination, the 2 blocks are having thermal conductivity 2K and 2K respectively are in series combination. Therefore the Keq will be 1K  +12K
