For a wall of a given material and of a fixed surface area, the rate of heat loss by conduction through the wall is inversely proportional to the thickness (T) of the wall, and directly proportional to the temperature difference (d) across the wall. The rate of heat loss could be given by which of the following expressions?
A. 2d/T
B. 2 T/d
C. 2d + ½ T
D. 2(d + ½ T)
E. T/d


Sagot :

the answer is        A .2d/T
Since d is directly proportional to the heat lost it should be the numerator
since T is inversely proportional to the heat lost it shoudl be the denormirator
 that is      1/T ;         2 is the constant
the actual formula is        R = kd/T
