The thickness of a uniform rectangular metal plate is $5 \ mm$ and the area of each surface is $5 \ cm^2$. In steady state, the temperature difference between the two surfaces of the plate is $14^{\circ} C$. If the heat flowing through the plate in one second from one surface to the other surface is $42 \ J$, then the thermal conductivity of the metal is

  • A
    $90 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
  • B
    $30 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
  • C
    $45 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$
  • D
    $60 \ W \ m^{-1} \ K^{-1}$

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 length $l_1$ and $l_2$ and thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The temperature at the interface of the two sections is

Which of the following circular rods (given radius $r$ and length $l$),each made of the same material and whose ends are maintained at the same temperature difference,will conduct the most heat?

$A$ large cylindrical rod of length $L$ is made by joining two identical rods of copper and steel of length $(\frac{L}{2})$ each. The rods are completely insulated from the surroundings. If the free end of the copper rod is maintained at $100\,^oC$ and that of the steel rod at $0\,^oC$,then the temperature of the junction is........$^oC$ (Thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel).
