If two metallic plates of equal thicknesses and thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ are put together face to face and a common plate is constructed,then the equivalent thermal conductivity of this plate will be

Two rods of same length and cross-section are joined along their length. The thermal conductivities of the first and second rods are $K_1$ and $K_2$,respectively. The temperatures of the free ends of the first and second rods are maintained at $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$,respectively. The temperature of the common junction is:

$A$ brass rod of length $2 \ m$ and radius $1 \ cm$ has one end maintained at $250 \ ^oC$. When steady state is reached, the rate of heat flow through any cross-section is $0.5 \ cal \ s^{-1}$. Find the temperature of the other end in $^oC$. (Thermal conductivity of brass $K = 0.26 \text{ cal s}^{-1} \text{ cm}^{-1} \text{ } ^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$)

Two rods,one made of copper and the other of steel,having the same length and cross-sectional area,are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper is $385 \, J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$ and that of steel is $50 \, J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$. If the copper end is held at $100^{\circ} C$ and the steel end is held at $0^{\circ} C$,the junction temperature is ........... $^{\circ} C$ (Assuming no other heat losses).
