Could be potential times vacuum permittivity times surface equals charge (electromagnetic field between to plates).

I know that this formula is related to the heating of the rod and the heat flux.
In this case, can λ be the coefficient of thermal conductivity, and s is the surface area through which heat passes?

Sure. But without any description it remains guesswork. Thermal conductivity has plenty of similar formulas, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivityvelfr said:I know that this formula is related to the heating of the rod and the heat flux.
