 ====== 6. Heat transfer in metals ======
+===== - Introduction =====
+The goal of this experiment is to measure the **rate of heat transfer** of copper and steel and compare. The rate of heat transfer
+$$ H = \frac{k A \Delta T}{L} $$
+where $k$ is **thermal conductivity** which has the units [W m$^{-1}$ K$^{-1}$], $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the conductor, $L$ is its length and $\Delta T$ is the difference in temperature between the two ends of the conductor.
+The thermal conductivity of copper and steel are given below.
+^ Material ^ Thermal conductivity [W m$^{-1}$ K$^{-1}$] ^
+| Copper (Cu) | $401$ |
+| Steel (Fe+C) | $14$ |
+===== - Method and data =====
+==== - List of apparatus ====
+  - Beaker
+  - Thermometer
+  - Substance (Copper, Steel)
+  - Weighing scale
+  - Water (20 ml)
+==== - Setup and Procedure ====
+Using a Vernier calipers measure the radius of the rods and from the radius ($r$) calculate $A=\pi r^2$.
+Using a thread and a meter scale measure the length $L$ of the rods.
+==== - Data table ====
+Measure the temperature changes and note down in the following table.
+^ Time [minute] ^ Temperature of Copper [$^\circ$C] ^ Temperature of Steel [$^\circ$C] ^
+| 0 |  |  |
+| 1 |  |  |
+| 2 |  |  |
+| 3 |  |  |
+| 4 |  |  |
