$A$ room is maintained at $20^{\circ}C$ by a heater of resistance $20 \ \Omega$ connected to $200 \ V$ mains. The temperature is uniform throughout the room and heat is transmitted through a glass window of area $1 \ m^2$ and thickness $0.2 \ cm$. What will be the temperature outside in $^{\circ}C$? Given that thermal conductivity $K = 0.2 \ J/(s \cdot m \cdot K)$ for glass and $J = 4.2 \ J/cal$.

Three rods each of length $l$ and cross-sectional area $A$ are joined in series between two heat reservoirs as shown in the figure. Their thermal conductivities are $2K$,$K$,and $\frac{K}{2}$,respectively. Assuming that the conductors are insulated from the surroundings,the temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ of the junctions in the steady-state condition are,respectively:

Two rectangular blocks $A$ and $B$ of different metals have the same length and the same area of cross-section. They are kept in such a way that their cross-sectional areas touch each other. The temperature at one end of $A$ is $100^{\circ}C$ and that of $B$ at the other end is $0^{\circ}C$. If the ratio of their thermal conductivities is $1 : 3$,then under steady state,the temperature of the junction in contact will be ........ $^{\circ}C$.

Three rods of equal length and cross-sectional area with thermal conductivities $K, 2K$,and $3K$ are joined as shown in the figure. The temperatures of their outer ends are $110\ ^oC, 20\ ^oC$,and $0\ ^oC$ respectively. Find the temperature of the junction in $^oC$.

Same quantity of ice is filled in each of the two metal containers $P$ and $Q$ having the same size, shape, and wall thickness but made of different materials. The containers are kept in identical surroundings. The ice in $P$ melts completely in time $t_{1}$ whereas in $Q$ it takes a time $t_{2}$. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials of $P$ and $Q$ is
