$A$ 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 $J = 4.2 \ J/cal$.

  • A
    $15.24$
  • B
    $15.00$
  • C
    $24.15$
  • D
    None of the above

Two identical rods $AC$ and $CB$ made of two different metals having thermal conductivities in the ratio $2:3$ are kept in contact with each other at the end $C$. $A$ is at $100^{\circ}C$ and $B$ is at $25^{\circ}C$. Then the junction $C$ is at: (in $^{\circ}C$)

One end of a copper rod of uniform cross-section and of length $3.1 \ m$ is kept in contact with ice at $0^{\circ}C$ and the other end with water at $100^{\circ}C$. At what point along its length should a temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ be maintained so that in steady state,the mass of ice melting is equal to the mass of steam produced in the same interval of time? Assume that the whole system is insulated from the surroundings. Latent heat of fusion of ice and vaporisation of water are $80 \ cal/g$ and $540 \ cal/g$ respectively.
