Two metal rods, one silver and the other gold, are attached to each other. The free end of the silver rod is connected to a steam chamber,
with a temperature of 100°C, and the free end of the gold rod to an ice water bath, with a temperature of 0°C. The rods are 5.0 cm long and have a square cross-section, 2.0 cm on a side. How much heat flows through the two rods in 60 s? The thermal conductivity of silver is 417 W/(m?K), and that of gold is 291 W/(m?K). No heat is exchanged between the rods and the surroundings, except at the ends.

Accelerated electron beams are often used to study surfaces and other features of materials. Suppose one had an electron accelerator that was useful for producing electron beams used to study the features of atoms on the surfaces of solids, but wanted to alter the design to produce beams appropriate for the study of the nuclei of those atoms. What would be the appropriate alteration?
A. Increase the beam intensity B. Decrease the beam energy C. Decrease the beam intensity D. Increase the beam energy E. Increase the transverse beam size F. Decrease the transverse beam size
