Question

Three rods of same dimensions are arranged as shown in figure they have thermal conductivities K subscript 1 end subscript comma K subscript 2 end subscript andK subscript 3 end subscript The points P and Q are maintained at different temperatures for the heat to flow at the same rate along PRQ and PQ then which of the following option is correct

  1. K subscript 3 end subscript equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction left parenthesis K subscript 1 end subscript plus K subscript 2 end subscript right parenthesis    
  2. K subscript 3 end subscript equals K subscript 1 end subscript plus K subscript 2 end subscript    
  3. K subscript 3 end subscript equals fraction numerator K subscript 1 end subscript K subscript 2 end subscript over denominator K subscript 1 end subscript plus K subscript 2 end subscript end fraction    
  4. K subscript 3 end subscript equals 2 left parenthesis K subscript 1 end subscript plus K subscript 2 end subscript right parenthesis    

The correct answer is: K subscript 3 end subscript equals fraction numerator K subscript 1 end subscript K subscript 2 end subscript over denominator K subscript 1 end subscript plus K subscript 2 end subscript end fraction


    The given arrangement of rods can be redrawn as follows

    It is given that H1 = H2
    Þ fraction numerator K A left parenthesis theta subscript 1 end subscript minus theta subscript 2 end subscript right parenthesis over denominator 2 l end fraction equals fraction numerator K subscript 3 end subscript A left parenthesis theta subscript 1 end subscript minus theta subscript 2 end subscript right parenthesis over denominator l end fractionÞ K subscript 3 end subscript equals fraction numerator K over denominator 2 end fraction equals fraction numerator K subscript 1 end subscript K subscript 2 end subscript over denominator K subscript 1 end subscript plus K subscript 2 end subscript end fraction
