Consider two rods of same length and different specific heats $(S_{1}, S_{2})$,conductivities $(K_{1}, K_{2})$ and area of cross-sections $(A_{1}, A_{2})$ and both having temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ at their ends. If the rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal,then:

  • A
    $K_{1}A_{2} = K_{2}A_{1}$
  • B
    $K_{1}A_{1} = K_{2}A_{2}$
  • C
    $K_{1} = K_{2}$
  • D
    $K_{1}A_{1}^{2} = K_{2}A_{2}^{2}$
