$A$ heat flux of $4000 \, J/s$ passes through a rod of length $10 \, cm$ and cross-sectional area $100 \, cm^2$. The thermal conductivity of copper is $400 \, W/m^{\circ}C$. The ends of the rod must be maintained at a temperature difference of ....... $^{\circ}C$.

On a cold morning,a metal surface feels colder than a wooden surface because:

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?

Why does a metal bar appear hotter than a wooden bar at the same temperature? Equivalently,it also appears cooler than a wooden bar if they are both colder than room temperature.

Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures $T_1 = 300 \ K$ and $T_2 = 100 \ K$,as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is $200 \ K$,then $K_1 / K_2 = \dots$
