  1. $\cfrac { x }{ 8 } $

  2. $\cfrac { 7x }{ 8 } $

  3. $\cfrac { 8x }{ 8 } $

  4. $\cfrac { x }{ 7 } $


Correct Option: A

A hollow copper sphere and a hollow copper cube, of same surface area and negligible thickness, are filled with warm water of same temperature and placed in an enclosure of constant temperature, a few degrees below that of the bodies. Then in the beginning:

  1. the rate of energy lost by the sphere is greater than that by the cube

  2. the rate of fall of temperature for sphere is greater than that for the cube.

  3. the rate of energy lost by the sphere is less than that by the cube

  4. the rate of fall of temperature for sphere is less than that for the cube.


Correct Option: B

  1. 100 calorie

  2. 0.01 kilocalorie

  3. 716 calorie

  4. 1 kilocaorie


Correct Option: C

  1. $80^oC$

  2. $444^oC$

  3. $333^oC$

  4. $171^oC$


Correct Option: D

  1. Good conductors of heat

  2. bad conductors of heat

  3. neither good conduction not bad conductors of heat

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A

$1\ kcal $ per hour of heat flowing through a rod of iron. When the rod is cut down to $4$ pieces then what will be the heat flowing through each piece having same differential temperature?

  1. $1 / 2\ \mathrm { kcal }$

  2. $1 / 4\ \mathrm { kcal }$

  3. $1\ \mathrm { kcal }$

  4. $1 / 15\ \mathrm { kcal }$.


Correct Option: A

A metal rod of length $2m$ has cross sectional area $2A$ and as shown in figure$.$ The ends are maintained at temperature $100^0C$ and $70^0C$.$ The tem[temperature at middle point C is

  1. $90^0C$

  2. $30^0C$

  3. $45^0C$

  4. $60^0C$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l} Let\, \, q\, \, be\, \, temperatrure\, \, middle\, \, po{ { int } }\, \, C\, and\, \, in\, \, series\, \, rate\, \, of\, \, heat\, \, flow\, \, is\, \, same \ K\left( { 2A } \right) \left( { 100-\theta  } \right) =KA\left( { \theta -70 } \right)  \ 200-2\theta =\theta -70 \ 3\theta =270 \ \theta ={ 90^{ 0 } }C \end{array}$

Hence,
option $(A)$ is correct answer.
