The temperature $\theta$ at the junction of two insulating sheets,having thermal resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ as well as top and bottom temperatures $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ (as shown in figure) is given by

  • A
    $\frac{\theta_{1} R_{1}+\theta_{2} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\theta_{1} R_{2}-\theta_{2} R_{1}}{R_{2}-R_{1}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\theta_{1} R_{2}+\theta_{2} R_{1}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\theta_{2} R_{1}+\theta_{1} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$

The temperatures of the two outer surfaces of a composite slab are $T_2$ and $T_1$ $(T_2 > T_1)$. The thermal conductivities of the materials are $K$ and $2K$,and their thicknesses are $x$ and $4x$,respectively. In the steady state,the rate of heat flow through the slab is given by $f \left( \frac{A(T_2 - T_1)K}{x} \right)$. Find the value of $f$.

$A$ slab consists of two parallel layers of copper and brass of equal thickness. The ratio of their thermal conductivities is $1:4$. If the temperature of the free side of the brass is $100^{\circ}C$ and that of the copper is $0^{\circ}C$,find the temperature of the interface in $^{\circ}C$.

Two conducting rods $A$ and $B$ of same length and cross-sectional area are connected $(i)$ In series $(ii)$ In parallel as shown. In both combinations,a temperature difference of $100^{\circ}C$ is maintained. If the thermal conductivity of $A$ is $3K$ and that of $B$ is $K$,then the ratio of heat current flowing in the parallel combination to that flowing in the series combination is:

$A$ slab consists of two parallel layers of two different materials of same thickness having thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$. The equivalent conductivity of the combination is

Three conducting rods $AB, BC$ and $BD$ made of the same material and same cross-section are arranged as shown in the figure. Temperatures at the points $A, D$ and $C$ are maintained at $20^{\circ} C, 90^{\circ} C$ and $0^{\circ} C$ respectively. The ratio of lengths of $BD$ to $BC$ when there is no heat flow in $AB$ is:
