Heat flux through several resistances in series in analogous to the current flowing through several_____________________?
Correct answer: C. Resistances in series
- A. Resistances in parallel
- B. Capacitors in series
- C. Resistances in series
- D. None of these
Explanation
In steady heat conduction, the same heat flux passes through each resistance in series, just as the same electric current passes through electrical resistances in series. The temperature drops correspond to voltage drops.
