The lengths of two rods made of the same metal and having the same area of cross-section are $0.6 \ m$ and $0.8 \ m$ respectively. The temperatures at the ends of the first rod are $90^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$,and those for the second rod are $150^{\circ}C$ and $110^{\circ}C$. For which rod will the rate of heat conduction be greater?

  • A
    First
  • B
    Second
  • C
    Same for both
  • D

$A$ slab consists of two parallel layers of copper and brass of the same thickness and having thermal conductivities in the ratio $1 : 4$. If the free face of brass is at $100^\circ C$ and that of copper at $0^\circ C$,the temperature of the interface is ........ $^\circ C$.

Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K_{1}, K_{2},$ and $K_{3}$,respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod. One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the other at $0^{\circ} C$. If the joints of the rod are at $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod,the correct relationship between $K_{1}, K_{2}$ and $K_{3}$ is:

$A$ rectangular slab consists of two cubes of copper and brass of equal sides having thermal conductivities in the ratio $4: 1$. If the free face of brass is at $0^{\circ} C$ and that of copper is at $100^{\circ} C$,then the temperature of their interface is (in $^{\circ} C$)
