CBSEENPH11026142

Two rods of same material have same length and area. The heat ΔQ flows through them for 12 minutes when they are joint side by side. If now both the rods are joined in parallel, then the same amount of heat ΔQ will flow in :

  • 24 min

  • 3 min

  • 12 min

  • 6 min

Solution

B.

3 min

When rods are joined in series then heat flow 

Q = A T1 - T2 t1l1K1  + l1K2          = A T1 + T2 t11K1 + 1K2Q    = A T1 -T2 t1l1 K2

When rods are joined in parallel

Q2 =K1 A - K2 AT1 - T2 t2lQ2 = 2 K A T1 - T2 t2l Q1= Q2                 given 

t2 = t14 = 124 = 3 min
