The correct answer is: 57

The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its ability to conduct heat. It is commonly denoted by κ, \lambda, or \kappa. Heat transfer occurs at a lower rate in materials of low thermal conductivity than in materials of high thermal conductivity

κ=1R·G*

For same conductivity cell, G* is constant and hence κ·R.= constant.

0.14×4.19=κ×1.03

or, =0.14×4.191.03

=0.5695Sm-1

=56.95×10-2Sm-157×10-2Sm-1
