Consider two rods of the same length and different specific heats \((S_1,S_2)\) conductivities \((K_1,K_2)\) and area of cross-sections \((A_1,A_2)\) and both having temperature \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) at their ends. If the rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal, then:
1. \(K_1A_1=K_2A_2\)
2. \(\frac{K_1A_1}{S_1}=\frac{K_2A_2}{S_2}\)
3. \(K_2A_1=K_1A_2\)
4. \(\frac{K_2A_1}{S_2}=\frac{K_1A_2}{S_1}\)
