Wires $A$ and $B$ have identical lengths and have circular cross-sections. The radius of $A$ is twice the radius of $B$,$i.e.$,${r_A} = 2{r_B}$. For a given temperature difference between the two ends,both wires conduct heat at the same rate. The relation between the thermal conductivities is given by:

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

The rate of heat flow through the cross-section of the rod shown in the figure is ($T_2 > T_1$ and the thermal conductivity of the material of the rod is $K$).

The rate of heat conduction through a cylindrical rod is $Q_1$. The temperatures at the ends of the rod are $T_1$ and $T_2$. If all the dimensions of the rod are doubled while keeping the temperatures the same,the new rate of heat conduction is $Q_2$. Then:

$A$ slab consists of two identical plates of copper and brass. The free face of the brass is at $0^{\circ} C$ and that of copper at $100^{\circ} C$. If the thermal conductivities of brass and copper are in the ratio $1: 4$,then the temperature of the interface is (in $^{\circ} C$)
