Answer:
Explanation:
For heat transfer through a window pane:
- Let the temperature difference across the window pane be, this temperature difference is the driving cause for the flow of heat, <em>likewise we have "V" the potential difference as the driving cause for the flow of charges.</em>
- Let be the rate of heat transfer, <em>likewise we have "I" as the rate of flow of charge.</em>
- The heat transfer rate is inversely propotional to , where:
dx is the thickness of the material across which the heat travels,
k is the thermal conductivity of the material
A is the area of the pane normal to the heat flow.
<em> And for current we have a constant factor R called resistance to which the current is inversely proportional to.</em>
<u>The heat transfer rate is given by the Fourier's Law as:</u>
can be further written as
...............................(1)
<u>The rate of flow of charge i.e. current is given by the Ohm's Law as:</u>
..............................................(2)
From equations (1) & (2)
