Two rods with thermal conductivities $K$ and $3K$ and equal cross-sectional areas are joined as shown in the figure. Their lengths are $1 \ cm$ and $2 \ cm$,respectively. If the temperatures of the two ends of this composite rod are $0^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$ (see figure),then the temperature $\phi$ of their interface is:

  • A
    $50^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $\frac{100}{3}^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $60^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $\frac{200}{3}^{\circ}C$

Four rods with different radii $r$ and length $l$ are used to connect two heat reservoirs at different temperatures. Which one will conduct the most heat?

The ends of two rods of different materials with their thermal conductivities,radii of cross-sections,and lengths all in the ratio $1:2$ are maintained at the same temperature difference. If the rate of flow of heat in the larger rod is $4 \; cal/sec$,the rate of flow of heat in the shorter rod in $cal/sec$ will be:

$A$ rod $A$ of length $40\, cm$ has a temperature difference of $80^\circ C$ at its two ends. Another rod $B$ of length $60\, cm$ has a temperature difference of $90^\circ C$ at its ends. Both rods have the same area of cross-section. If the rate of flow of heat is the same for both,then the ratio of their thermal conductivities $(K_A : K_B)$ will be:

One end of a metal rod of length $1.0 \ m$ and area of cross-section $100 \ cm^2$ is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$. If the other end of the rod is maintained at $0^{\circ}C$,the quantity of heat transmitted through the rod per minute is (Coefficient of thermal conductivity of the material of the rod = $100 \ W/m-K$).
