Two identical rods of copper and iron are coated with wax uniformly. When one end of each is kept at the temperature of boiling water,the lengths up to which wax melts are $8.4 \ cm$ and $4.2 \ cm$ respectively. If the thermal conductivity of copper is $0.92$,then the thermal conductivity of iron is:

The heat is flowing through two cylindrical rods of the same material. The diameters of the rods are in the ratio $1:2$ and their lengths are in the ratio $2:1$. If the temperature difference between their ends is the same,the ratio of the rate of flow of heat through them will be:

Two thin metallic spherical shells of radii $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ $(r_{1} < r_{2})$ are placed with their centres coinciding. $A$ material of thermal conductivity $K$ is filled in the space between the shells. The inner shell is maintained at temperature $\theta_{1}$ and the outer shell at temperature $\theta_{2}$ $(\theta_{1} < \theta_{2})$. The rate at which heat flows radially through the material is:

$A$ cylindrical rod has temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ at its ends. The rate of flow of heat is $Q_1 \ cal/sec$. If all the linear dimensions are doubled while keeping the temperatures constant,then the new rate of flow of heat $Q_2$ will be:

In a steady state,the temperatures at the ends $A$ and $B$ of a $20\,cm$ long rod $AB$ are $100\,^{\circ}C$ and $0\,^{\circ}C$ respectively. The temperature of a point $C$ at a distance of $9\,cm$ from $A$ is....... $^{\circ}C$
