\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{\mathrm{kA}\left(\mathrm{T}_1-\mathrm{T}_2\right)}{\ell} \\ & \frac{\mathrm{Q}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{t}}=\frac{\mathrm{k}\left(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{4}\right)\left(\mathrm{T}_1-\mathrm{T}_2\right)}{4 \ell}=\frac{1}{16} \frac{\mathrm{kA}\left(\mathrm{T}_1-\mathrm{T}_2\right)}{\ell} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{Q}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{16} \end{aligned}
