What is unit and dimension of thermal conductivity?

Solution

 Rate space of space change space of space heat space is space given space by comma space

space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space dQ over dT equals straight K straight A over straight ell straight theta space

therefore space space space space Thermal space conductivity comma space straight K equals dQ over dt straight ell over Aθ
S.I. unit of thermal conductivity is Watt/m/K or J/s/m/K.

CGS unit of K is cal/cm/sec/K or ergs/cm/sec/K.

Dimensional formula of thermal conductivity is [M1L1T–3K–1
