JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 10.2 transmission of heat

Three rods of Copper, Brass and Steel are welded together to form a \(Y\) shaped structure. Area of cross - section of each rod \(= 4\ cm^2\) . End of copper rod is maintained at \(100^o C \) where as ends ofbrass and steel are kept at \(0^o C\). Lengths of the copper, brass and steel rods are \(46, 13\) and \(12\ cms\) respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surroundings excepts at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are \(0.92, 0.26\) and \(0.12\ CGS\) units respectively. Rate ofheat flow through copper rod is ....... \(cal\, s^{-1}\)

  1. A \(2.4\)
  2. B \(4.8\)
  3. C \(6.0\)
  4. D \(1.2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Rate of heat flow is given by, \(Q = \frac{{KA\left( {{\theta _1} - {\theta _2}} \right)}}{l}\) Where, \(K=coefficient\,of\,thermal\,conductivity\) \(l=length\,of\,rod\,and\,A=Area\,of\,cross-section\,of\,rod\) If the junction temperature is \(T\), then…
