Idealization

• Here we strip away details we consider unnecessary to solving the problem at hand.
• Drag the slider to turn the schematic into 1D,
  • Here we idealise the metallic rod and consider it to be one dimensional.
  • The variation of temperature at different in the rod is shown graphically
• As we intuitively know, with time heat transfer happens from region of higher temperature to lower temperature. Eventually thermal equilibrium is attained and all points reach same temperature.
