Multiple Choice
Two bars,A and B,each of length 2.0 m and cross sectional area 1.0 m²,are placed end to end as shown in the figure. The thermal conductivities of the bars are
kA = 439 J/(s × m × K) and kB = 887 J/(s × m × K) ,respectively.The left end of bar A is maintained at 373 K while the right end of B is maintained at 273 K.
-Which one of the following statements is true concerning the above situation?
A) For a given time t,the amount of heat transferred through bar A is the same as that through B.
B) For a given time t,the amount of heat transferred through bar A is smaller than that through B.
C) For a given time t,the amount of heat transferred through bar A is less than that through B.
D) The time for a quantity of heat Q to pass through bar A is less than that for B.
E) Time is not a factor in determining the quantity of heat conducted through these bars.
