In a steady state, the graph between temperature $(\theta)$ and distance $(x)$ from the hot end is:

Two metallic blocks $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ of the same cross-sectional area are connected to each other as shown in the figure. If the thermal conductivity of $M_{2}$ is $K$,then the thermal conductivity of $M_{1}$ will be $xK$. Find the value of $x$. [Assume steady-state heat conduction]

In which case does the thermal conductivity increase from left to right?

The two ends of a rod of length $L$ and a uniform cross-sectional area $A$ are kept at two temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$. The rate of heat transfer,$\frac{dQ}{dt}$,through the rod in a steady state is given by:

Two ends of rods of length $L$ and radius $r$ of the same material are kept at the same temperature difference. Which of the following rods conducts the most heat?

Copper and iron rods of identical dimensions are coated with wax. The ratio of thermal conductivity of copper to iron is $10:9$. If one end of each rod is placed in hot water,the wax melts. Find the ratio of the lengths of the rods for which the wax melts at the same rate.
