Multiple choice physics temperature and heat modes of heat transfer - conduction conduction heat and modes of heat transfer

Two thermometers are used to record the temperature of a room. If the bulb of one is wrapped in wet hanky:

  1. The temperature recorded by both will be same.

  2. The temperature recorded by the wet-bulb thermometer will be greater than that recorded by the other.

  3. The temperature recorded by dry-bulb thermometer will be greater than that recorded by the other

  4. None of the above

C Correct answer
Explanation

The thermometer whose bulb is wrapped by wet hanky; undergoes evaporation process; and we know that evaporation results in cooling, so the wet bulb, thermometer will record less temperature than that of dry bulb thermometer.

A body P is connected to a large body Q through a conducting rod of length. I crossectional  area. A and thermal conductivity K. This assembly is placed in an an atmosplere of temperature ${ T } _{ A }$ and body Q is also maintained at temperature ${ T } _{ A }$. Let beat capacity of body P is C and it is unitally at temperature ${ T } _{ 1 }$. If in time t second temperature of body P falls to ${ T } _{ 2 }$. Then chose the correct option .

  1. $log\left[ \dfrac { { T } _{ 2 }-{ T } _{ A } }{ { T } _{ 1 }-{ T } _{ A } } \right] =\left[ { K } _{ 1 }\dfrac { KA }{ LC } \right] t$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The cooling of body P follows Newton's Law of Cooling, where the rate of heat loss dQ/dt = -C(dT/dt) = (kA/L)(T - Ta). Integrating this leads to the natural log form ln((T1 - Ta)/(T2 - Ta)) = (kA/LC)t.

Multiple choice physics temperature and heat modes of heat transfer - conduction conduction heat and modes of heat transfer

An aluminium meter rod of area of cross section $4cm^2$ with K=0.5 cal $g^{-1}$ $^oC^{-1}$ is observed that at steady state 360 cal of heat flows per minute.
The temperature gradient along the rod is

  1. $3^oC/cm$

  2. $6^oC/cm$

  3. $12^oC/cm$

  4. $20^oC/cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Heat flow H = kA(dT/dx). Given H = 360 cal/min = 6 cal/sec, k = 0.5, A = 4. 6 = 0.5 * 4 * (dT/dx). 6 = 2 * (dT/dx), so dT/dx = 3 C/cm.

Multiple choice physics temperature and heat modes of heat transfer - conduction conduction heat and modes of heat transfer

A conducting ring lies fixed on a horizontal plane. If a charged nonmagnetic particle is released from a point (on the axis) at some height from the plane, then :

  1. an induced current will flow in clockwise or anticlockwise direction in the loop depending upon the nature of the charge

  2. the acceleration of the particle will decrease as it comes down

  3. the rate of production of heat in the ring will increase as the particle comes down

  4. no heat will be produced in the ring

D Correct answer
Explanation

A charged particle moving along the axis of a conducting ring does not change the magnetic flux through the ring (the magnetic field lines are parallel to the axis or symmetric). Therefore, no emf is induced and no heat is produced.

Ratio of radius of curvature of cylindrical emitters of same type is $1:4$ and their temp. are in ration $2:1$. Then ration of amount of heat emitted by them is-(For Cylinder length = radius);-

  1. 2:1

  2. 1:1

  3. 4:1

  4. 1:4

B Correct answer
Explanation

Power radiated P = sigma * A * T^4. For a cylinder, A = 2*pi*r*L + 2*pi*r^2. If L=r, A = 4*pi*r^2. P is proportional to r^2 * T^4. Ratio P1/P2 = (r1/r2)^2 * (T1/T2)^4 = (1/4)^2 * (2/1)^4 = (1/16) * 16 = 1:1.

If the coefficient of conductivity of aluminium is $0.5cal/cm-sec-^oC,$ then in order to conduct $10cal/sec-cm^2$ in the steady state, the temperature gradient in aluminium must be

  1. $5^oC/cm$

  2. $10^oC/cm$

  3. $20^oC/cm$

  4. $10.5^oC/cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Heat flux H/A = k * (dT/dx). Given H/A = 10, k = 0.5. 10 = 0.5 * (dT/dx), so dT/dx = 20 C/cm.
