A copper rod and a steel rod of equal cross-sections and lengths () are joined side by side and connected between two heat baths as shown in the figure. If heat flows through them from to at a steady rate and conductivities of the metals are & (), then the heat current () and temperature () varies with as: (convection and radiation heat loss are negligible).

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
C, D
Solution:

Steady state: heat current is the same through both rods in series, so is constant: graph (D) correct, (A) wrong.

Copper () has larger , so a smaller gradient: gentle fall first, then steeper fall in steel. Graph (C) correct, (B) wrong.

Correct: C, D.
