One end of a thermally insulated rod is kept at a temperature $T_1$ and the other at $T_2$. The rod is composed of two sections of lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The temperature at the interface of the two sections is

  • A
    $(K_2 l_2 T_1 + K_1 l_1 T_2) / (K_1 l_2 + K_2 l_1)$
  • B
    $(K_2 l_1 T_1 + K_1 l_2 T_2) / (K_2 l_1 + K_1 l_2)$
  • C
    $(K_1 l_2 T_1 + K_2 l_1 T_2) / (K_1 l_2 + K_2 l_1)$
  • D
    $(K_1 l_1 T_1 + K_2 l_2 T_2) / (K_1 l_1 + K_2 l_2)$

Two vessels of different materials are similar in size in every respect. The same quantity of ice filled in them gets melted in $20$ minutes and $40$ minutes respectively. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials is

$A$ cylindrical rod with one end in a steam chamber and the other end in ice results in melting of $0.1 \ gm$ of ice per second. If the rod is replaced by another with half the length and double the radius of the first,and if the thermal conductivity of the material of the second rod is $\frac{1}{4}$ that of the first,the rate at which ice melts in $gm/sec$ will be:

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).

There is a layer of snow $x \ cm$ thick on water,when the temperature of the air is $-\theta ^\circ C$ (less than the freezing point). If the thickness of the layer increases from $x$ to $y$ in time $t$,then the value of $t$ is given by:

$A$ cylindrical rod has temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ at its ends. The rate of flow of heat is $Q_1 \text{ cal s}^{-1}$. If the length and radius of the rod are doubled while keeping the temperatures constant,then the new rate of flow of heat $Q_2$ will be:
