An aluminium rod of length $1 \,m$ and a steel rod of length $2 \,m$, both having the same cross-sectional area, are soldered together end-to-end. The thermal conductivity of the aluminium rod and the steel rod is $200 \,Js^{-1} \,m^{-1} \,K^{-1}$ and $50 \,Js^{-1} \,m^{-1} \,K^{-1}$ respectively. The temperatures of the free ends are maintained at $300 \,K$ and $500 \,K$. What is the temperature of the junction (in $\,K$)?

In steady state heat conduction,the equations that determine the heat current $j(r)$ [heat flowing per unit time per unit area] and temperature $T(r)$ in space are exactly the same as those governing the electric field $E(r)$ and electrostatic potential $V(r)$ with the equivalence given in the table below.

Heat flow	Electrostatics
$T(r)$	$V(r)$
$j(r)$	$E(r)$

We exploit this equivalence to predict the rate $\dot{Q}$ of total heat flowing by conduction from the surfaces of spheres of varying radii,all maintained at the same temperature. If $\dot{Q} \propto R^{n}$,where $R$ is the radius,then the value of $n$ is

In the Ingen-Hauz's experiment,the wax melts up to lengths $10 \ cm$ and $25 \ cm$ on two identical rods of different materials. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the two materials is:

The end $A$ of a rod $AB$ of length $1\,m$ is maintained at $80\,^{\circ}C$ and the end $B$ at $0\,^{\circ}C$. The temperature at a distance of $60\,cm$ from the end $A$ is......... $^{\circ}C$

The temperature difference across two cylindrical rods $A$ and $B$ of the same material and same mass are $40^{\circ} C$ and $60^{\circ} C$ respectively. In steady state,if the rates of flow of heat through the rods $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $3: 8$,the ratio of the lengths of the rods $A$ and $B$ is (in $: 3$)

Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K_{1}, K_{2},$ and $K_{3}$,respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod. One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the other at $0^{\circ} C$. If the joints of the rod are at $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod,the correct relationship between $K_{1}, K_{2}$ and $K_{3}$ is:
