Heat and work are equivalent. This means,
(a) when we supply heat to a body we do work on it
(b) when we do work on a body we supply heat to it
(c) the temperature of a body can be increased by doing work on it
(d) a body kept at rest may be set into motion along a line by supplying heat to it
Choose the correct option
1. (a) , (b)
2. (b) , (c)
3. (c) only
4. (a) , (d)
The thermal conductivity of a rod depends on
1. length
2. mass
3. area of cross section
4. material of the rod.
In a room containing air, heat can go from one place to another:
1. by conduction only
2. by convection only
3. by radiation only
4. by all three modes
A solid at temperature T1, is kept in an evacuated chamber at temperature T2 > T1 . The rate of increase of temperature of the body is proportional to
1. T2 – T1
2. \(T^2_2 -T^2_1\)n
3. \(T^3_2 -T^3_1\)
4. \(T^4_2 -T^4_1\)
The thermal radiation emitted by a body is proportional to Tn where T is its absolute temperature. The value of n is exactly 4 for
1. a blackbody
2. all bodies
3. bodies painted black only
4. polished bodies only.
Two bodies A and B having equal surface areas are maintained at temperatures 10°C and 20°C. The thermal radiation emitted in a given time by A and B are in the ratio
1. 1 : 1.15
2. 1 : 2
3. 1 : 4
4. 1 : 16.
