Consider two insulating sheets with thermal resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ as shown in the figure. The temperature $\theta$ at the junction is:

  • A
    $\frac{{\theta _1}{\theta _2}{R_1}{R_2}}{{({R_1} + {R_2})({\theta _1} + {\theta _2})}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{\theta _1}{R_1} + {\theta _2}{R_2}}{{{R_1} + {R_2}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{({\theta _1} + {\theta _2})\left( {{R_1}{R_2}} \right)}}{{R_1^2 + R_2^2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\theta _1}{R_2} + {\theta _2}{R_1}}{{{R_1} + {R_2}}}$

For the figure shown,when arcs $ACD$ and $ADB$ are made of the same material,the total heat current carried between $A$ and $B$ is $H$. If $ADB$ is replaced with another material,the total heat current becomes $2H$. If the temperatures at $A$ and $B$ are fixed at $T_1$ and $T_2$,what is the ratio of the new thermal conductivity to the old thermal conductivity of the arc $ADB$?

Three rods $AB$, $BC$, and $BD$ made of the same material and having the same cross-section have been joined as shown in the figure. The ends $A$, $C$, and $D$ are held at temperatures of $20^{\circ} C$, $80^{\circ} C$, and $80^{\circ} C$ respectively. If each rod is of the same length, then the temperature at the junction $B$ of the three rods is: (in $^{\circ} C$)
