The ratio of the coefficient of thermal conductivity of two different materials is $5 : 3$. If the thermal resistance of the rods and the cross-sectional area of these materials are the same,then the ratio of the lengths of these rods will be

Four rods of identical cross-sectional area and made from the same metal form the sides of a square. The temperatures of two diagonally opposite points are $\theta$ and $\sqrt{2}\theta$ respectively in the steady state. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place,what will be the temperature difference between the other two points?

Two rods of the same length and material transfer a given amount of heat in $12 \ s$ when they are joined end to end. But when they are joined lengthwise parallel to each other,they will transfer the same amount of heat under the same conditions in a time of: (in $s$)

Consider a compound slab consisting of two different materials having equal thickness and thermal conductivities $K$ and $2K$ respectively. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the slab is

Four identical conducting rods are joined as shown in the figure. Points $A$ and $D$ are maintained at temperatures of $200^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ respectively. The temperature of junction $B$ will be ....... $^{\circ}C$.

Two identical plates of different metals are joined to form a single plate whose thickness is double the thickness of each plate. If the coefficients of thermal conductivity of each plate are $2$ and $3$ respectively,then the thermal conductivity of the composite plate will be:
