Fourier law states that heat transfer by conduction is directly proportional to temperature difference and area of heat transfer parallel to direction of heat flow i.e. dQ = -KAdT. Here K represent the thermal conductivity of body, A is the area and dT is the temp. difference. Negative sign show the...

fourier's law of conduction-it states that the rate of heat transfer by conduction along a given direction is directly proportional to temparature gradient along the direction and also directly proportional to the area of heat transfer perpendicular to the direction of heat transfer
