Wires A and B have identical lengths and have circular cross-sections. The radius of A is twice the radius of B i.e. rA=2rB . For a given temperature difference between the two ends, both wires conduct heat at the same rate. The relation between the thermal conductivities is given by

(1) KA=4KB                     
(2) KA=2KB
(3) KA=KB/2                   
(4) KA=KB/4
