(a) $\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}} = \frac{{K(\pi {r^2})d\theta }}{{dl}}$

==> $\frac{{{{\left( {\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}}} \right)}_s}}}{{{{\left( {\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}}} \right)}_l}}} = \frac{{{K_s} \times r_s^2 \times {l_l}}}{{{K_l} \times r_l^2 \times {l_s}}}$= $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{1}$

==> ${\left( {\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}}} \right)_s} = \frac{{{{\left( {\frac{{dQ}}{{dt}}} \right)}_l}}}{4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$

    An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement($s$) is(are) true?

    ($A$) The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform

    ($B$) The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time

    ($C$) The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up

    ($D$) The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb
