Problem

Two identical copper rods have the same length LL but different cross-sectional areas. Rod 1 has area AA and Rod 2 has area 2A2A. A temperature difference ΔT\Delta T is maintained across each rod. Which of the following correctly gives the ratio of their conduction rates, (QΔt)2/(QΔt)1\left(\dfrac{Q}{\Delta t}\right)_2 \big/ \left(\dfrac{Q}{\Delta t}\right)_1 ? a) 12\dfrac{1}{2} b) 2\sqrt{2} c) 22 d) 11
