Questions  

The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper, mercury and glass are respectively Kc, Km and Kg such that Kc >Km > Kg. If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are Xc, Xm and Xg, then

a
Xc = Xm = Xg
b
Xc < Xm  > Xg
c
Xc < Xm < Xg
d
Xm < Xc < Xg

detailed solution

Correct option is C

QAt = K∆θl     ⇒ K∆θl = constant⇒ ∆θl directly proportional to 1KHence, if Kc > Km > Kg, then(∆θl)c<(∆θl)m < (∆θl)g    ⇒ Xc < Xm < XgBecause higher K implies lower value of the temperature gradient.
