The figure shows a system of two concentric spheres of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ and kept at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$, respectively. The radial rate of flow of heat in a substance between the two concentric spheres is proportional to
  • A$\frac{{{r_1}\,{r_2}}}{{({r_1} - {r_2})}}$
  • B$({r_2} - {r_1})$
  • C$({r_2} - {r_1})({r_1}\,{r_2})$
  • D$In \left( {\frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}}} \right)$
