The units of resistance to heat transfer is _____________________?

Correct answer: D. W-1m2K

  • A. J.m-2.K-1
  • B. J.m-1.K-1
  • C. W.m-2.K-1
  • D. W-1m2K

Explanation

Thermal resistance is defined as temperature difference divided by heat-transfer rate, giving units K/W, equivalent to W⁻¹m²K for an area-based resistance. The other choices represent conductivity, conductance, or heat-transfer-coefficient units.
