JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th January Morning Slot - No. 22)

Temperature difference of 120oC is maintained between ends of a uniform rod AB of length 2L. Another bent rod PQ, of same cross-section as AB and length $${{3L} \over 2},$$ is connected across AB (see figure). In steady state, temperature difference between P and Q will be close to :

45oC
75oC
60oC
35oC

Explanation

We know,

Resistance, R = $${{\rho L} \over A}$$

$$ \therefore $$   R $$ \propto $$ L

So, Resistance is directly proportional to lengt5h of the rod.

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th January Morning Slot Physics - Heat and Thermodynamics Question 342 English Explanation

Equivalent resistance between A and B is,

Req = $${R \over 2} + {{R \times {{3R} \over 2}} \over {R + {{3R} \over 2}}} + {R \over 2}$$

= R + $${{3{R^2}} \over 2} \times {2 \over {5R}}$$

= R + $${{3R} \over 5}$$

= $${{8R} \over 5}$$

Thermal current between point A and B is,

      I = $${{\Delta {T_{AB}}} \over {{{\mathop{\rm R}\nolimits} _{eq}}}}$$

= $${{120 - 0} \over {{{8R} \over 5}}}$$

= $${{120 \times 5} \over {8R}}$$

Resistance between P and Q = $${{3R} \over 5}$$

$$ \therefore $$   $$\Delta $$TPQ = $${\rm I} \times {{3R} \over 5}$$

= $${{120 \times 5} \over {8R}} \times {{3R} \over 5}$$

= 45oC
