Six wires,each of cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$,are combined as shown in the figure. The thermal conductivities of copper and iron are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The equivalent thermal resistance between points $A$ and $C$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{l(K_1+K_2)}{K_1K_2A}$
  • B
    $\frac{2l(K_1+K_2)}{K_1K_2A}$
  • C
    $\frac{l}{(K_1+K_2)A}$
  • D
    $\frac{2l}{(K_1+K_2)A}$

The temperatures of the two outer surfaces of a composite slab,consisting of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$ and thickness $x$ and $4x$,respectively,are $T_2$ and $T_1$ $(T_2 > T_1)$. The rate of heat transfer through the slab in a steady state is $\left( \frac{A(T_2 - T_1)K}{x} \right)f$,where $f$ is equal to:
