Options:
  • A $K_1 A_2=K_2 A_1$
  • B $K_1 A_1=K_2 A_2$
  • C $K_1=K_2$
  • D $K_1 A_1^2=K_2 A_2^2$

The correct answer is: $K_1 A_1=K_2 A_2$
$\left(\frac{Q}{t}\right)_1=\frac{K_1 A_1\left(\theta_1-\theta_2\right)}{I}$ and $\left(\frac{Q}{t}\right)_2=\frac{K_2 A_2\left(\theta_1-\theta_2\right)}{1}$
given $\left(\frac{Q}{t}\right)_1=\left(\frac{Q}{t}\right)_2 \Rightarrow K_1 A_1=K_2 A_2$
