The rate of flow of heat through a metal rod with temperature difference \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is \(1600 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{s}\). The thermal resistance of metal rod in \({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{cal}\) is

  1. A \(0.025\)
  2. B \(0.25\)
  3. C \(2.5\)
  4. D \(40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.025\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: rate of flow of heat (conduction rate)
\(
\mathrm{P}_{\text {cond }}=1600 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{s}
\)
Thermal resistance,
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{P}_{\text {cond }}} \\
& \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{40}{1600} \\
& \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}=0.025^{\circ} \mathrm{Cs} / \mathrm{cal}
\end{aligned}
