The term analogous to the electrical current in a thermal system is the_________________?
Correct answer: A. Heat flow rate
- A. Heat flow rate
- B. Temperature difference
- C. Heat content in the system
- D. None of these
Explanation
In the thermal-electrical analogy, temperature difference corresponds to voltage and heat-flow rate corresponds to electrical current. Thus, heat flow rate is the thermal counterpart of current.
