A 100-W light bulb generates 95W of heat, which is dissipated through a glass bulb that has a radius of 3.0 cm and is 0.50 mm thick. What is the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the glass? Use 'deg C' as your units.

    21 °C

    Explanation:

    Heat generated by bulb in one second, H = 95 W

    Radius = 3 cm = 0.03 m, Area = 3.14 x 0.03 x 0.03 = 2.826 x 10^-3 m^2

    Thickness, d = 0.5 mm = 0.5 x 10^-3 m

    Coefficient of thermal conductivity of glass, K = 0.8 W/mK

    Let ΔT be the temperature difference between inner and outer surface.

    H = K A ΔT / d

    95 = 0.8 x 2.826 x 10^-3 x ΔT / (0.5 x 10^-3)

    ΔT = 21 °C

    Thus, the temperature difference between the inner and outer surface of the bulb is 21 °C.
