Two walls of thicknesses $d_1$ and $d_2$ and thermal conductivities $k_1$ and $k_2$ are in contact. In the steady state,if the temperatures at the outer surfaces are $T_1$ and $T_2$,the temperature at the common wall is

  • A
    $\frac{k_1 T_1 d_2 + k_2 T_2 d_1}{k_1 d_2 + k_2 d_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{k_1 T_1 + k_2 d_2}{d_1 + d_2}$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{k_1 d_1 + k_2 d_2}{T_1 + T_2} \right) T_1 T_2$
  • D
    $\frac{k_1 d_1 T_1 + k_2 d_2 T_2}{k_1 d_1 + k_2 d_2}$

The temperature drop through each layer of a two-layer furnace wall is shown in the figure. Assume that the external temperatures $T_1$ and $T_3$ are maintained constant and $T_1 > T_3$. If the thicknesses of the layers $x_1$ and $x_2$ are the same,which of the following statements is correct?

$A$ rod $A$ of length $40\, cm$ has a temperature difference of $80^\circ C$ at its two ends. Another rod $B$ of length $60\, cm$ has a temperature difference of $90^\circ C$ at its ends. Both rods have the same area of cross-section. If the rate of flow of heat is the same for both,then the ratio of their thermal conductivities $(K_A : K_B)$ will be:

Two bars of thermal conductivities $K$ and $3K$ and lengths $1\, cm$ and $2\, cm$ respectively have equal cross-sectional area. They are joined length-wise as shown in the figure.
