The rate of heat flow by conduction through a slab does NOT depend upon the:
Correct answer: A. Specific heat of the slab
- A. Specific heat of the slab
- B. cross-sectional area of the slab
- C. thermal conductivity of the slab
- D. temperature difference between opposite faces of the slab
Explanation
The first law of thermodynamics is a consequence of the conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. This law accounts for the conservation of various forms of energy, including work, heat, and internal energy

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.
