The temperature difference across two cylindrical rods $A$ and $B$ of the same material and same mass are $40^{\circ} C$ and $60^{\circ} C$ respectively. In steady state,if the rates of flow of heat through the rods $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $3: 8$,the ratio of the lengths of the rods $A$ and $B$ is (in $: 3$)

Which of the following factors affect the thermal conductivity of a rod?

Four rods with different radii $r$ and length $l$ are used to connect two heat reservoirs at different temperatures. Which one will conduct the most heat?

According to the experiment of Ingen Hausz, the relation between the thermal conductivity $K$ of a metal rod and the length $l$ of the rod up to which the wax melts is:

Two identical long bars $A$ and $B$ made of different materials are coated with wax and have one end immersed in a hot oil bath. When the steady state is reached, the lengths for which the wax melts are $l_A$ and $l_B$. If $k_A$ and $k_B$ are the thermal conductivities of the materials, then:

$A$ cylindrical metallic rod in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at its two ends conducts an amount of heat '$Q_1$' in time '$t$'. The metallic rod is melted and the material is formed into a rod of length four times the length of the original rod. The amount of heat conducted by the new rod when placed in thermal contact with the same two reservoirs in time '$t$' is '$Q_2$'. Then $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}$ is:
