The two ends of a metal rod are maintained at temperatures \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and \(110^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The rate of heat flow in the rod is found to be 4.0 J/s. If the ends are maintained at temperatures \(200^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and \(210^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), the rate of heat flow will be:
1. 44.0 J/s
2. 16.8 J/s
3. 8.0 J/s
4. 4.0 J/s
Three rods made of the same material and having the same cross-section have been joined as shown in the figure. Each rod has the same length. The left and right ends are kept at \(0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) \(90^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), respectively. The temperature at the junction of the three rods will be:

2. \(60^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
3. \(30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
4. \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
Mud houses are cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter because:
1. | the mud is a superconductor of heat. |
2. | the mud is a good conductor of heat. |
3. | the mud is a bad conductor of heat. |
4. | None of the above |
Two conducting slabs of heat conductivity \(K_{1} ~ \text{and} ~K_{2}\) are joined as shown in fig. If the temperature at the ends of the slabs are \(\theta_{1}\ and\ \theta_{2} \ (\theta_{1} > \theta_{2} ), \)then the final temperature \( \left(\theta\right)_{m} \)of the junction will be:
1. | \(\frac{K_{1} \theta_{1} + K_{2} \theta_{2}}{K_{1} + K_{2}}\) | 2. | \(\frac{K_{1} \theta_{2} + K_{2} \theta_{1}}{K_{1} + K_{2}}\) |

Four rods of the same material with different radii r and length are used to connect two heat reservoirs at different temperatures. In which of the following cases is the heat conduction fastest?
1.
2. r = 3 cm, = 9 cm
3. r = 4 cm, = 8 cm
4. r = 1 cm, = 1 cm
When two ends of a rod wrapped with cotton are maintained at different temperatures and, after some time, every point of the rod attains a constant temperature, then:
1. | Conduction of heat at different points of the rod stops because the temperature is not increasing |
2. | The rod is a bad conductor of heat |
3. | Heat is being radiated from each point of the rod |
4. | Each point of the rod is giving heat to its neighbour at the same rate at which it is receiving heat |
Three rods made of the same material, having the same cross-sectional area but different lengths 10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm are joined as shown. The temperature of the junction will be:-
1. \(10.8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
2. \(14.6^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
3. \(16.4^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
4. \(18.2^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
Two rods (one semi-circular and the other straight) of the same material and of the same cross-sectional area are joined as shown in the figure. Points A and B are maintained at different temperatures. The ratio of the heat transferred through a cross-section of a semi-circular rod to the heat transferred through a

1. 2:
2. 1: 2
3. : 2
4. 3: 2
One likes to sit in the sunshine in the winter season, because:
1. | The air around the body is hot, and the body absorbs heat from it. |
2. | we get energy from the sun. |
3. | we get heat by conduction from the sun. |
4. | None of the above |
