Two thin metallic spherical shells of radii \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\) and \(30 \mathrm{~cm}\), respectively are placed with their centres coinciding. A material of thermal conductivity \(\alpha\) is filled in the space between the shells. The inner shell is maintained at \(300 \mathrm{~K}\) and the outer shell at \(310 \mathrm{~K}\). If the rate at which heat flows radially through the material is \(40 \mathrm{~W}\), find the value of \(\alpha\) (in units of \(\mathrm{J} \mathrm{s}^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) ).

  1. A \(\frac{3}{\pi}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{5}{3 \pi}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, radius of two thin metallic spherical shells, \(\begin{aligned} & r_1=20 \mathrm{~cm}=0.2 \mathrm{~m} \\ & r_2=30 \mathrm{~cm}=0.3 \mathrm{~m}\end{aligned}\) temperature of inner shell, \(T_1=300 \mathrm{~K}\), temperature of outer shell, \(T_2=310 \mathrm{~K}\), and rate…
