Physics Transmission of Heat Thermal Conduction MCQ (Single Correct)

A closed cubical box is made of a perfectly insulating material walls of thickness 8 cm and the only way for heat to enter or leave the box is through two solid metallic cylindrical plugs, each of cross-sectional area 12 cm 2 and length 8 cm, fixed in the opposite walls of the box. The outer surface A on one plug is maintained at 100°C while the outer surface B of the other plug is maintained at 4°C. The thermal conductivity of the material of each plug is 0.5 cal/°C/cm. A source of energy generating 36 cal/s is enclosed inside the box. Assuming the temperature to be the same at all points on the inner surface, the equilibrium temperature of the inner surface of the box is

A
62 °C 46 °C
C
76 °C
D
52 °C
