Three identical rods $A, B$ and $C$ are placed end to end. $A$ temperature difference is maintained between the free ends of $A$ and $C$. The thermal conductivity of $B$ is thrice that of $C$ and half of that of $A$. The effective thermal conductivity of the system will be ($K_{A}$ is the thermal conductivity of rod $A$).

$A$ metallic prong consists of $4$ rods made of the same material,with the same cross-sections and the same lengths as shown below. The three forked ends are kept at $100^{\circ} C$ and the handle end is at $0^{\circ} C$. The temperature of the junction is ............. $^{\circ} C$.

Three conductors of the same length having thermal conductivities $k_1, k_2$ and $k_3$ are connected as shown in the figure. The areas of cross-section of the $1^{\text{st}}$ and $2^{\text{nd}}$ conductors are the same,and for the $3^{\text{rd}}$ conductor,it is double that of the $1^{\text{st}}$ conductor. The temperatures are given in the figure. In the steady-state condition,the value of $\theta$ is . . . . . . $^{\circ}C$. (Given: $k_1 = 60 \ J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}, k_2 = 120 \ J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}, k_3 = 135 \ J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$)

$A$ wall has two layers $A$ and $B,$ each made of different material. Both the layers have the same thickness. The thermal conductivity for $A$ is twice that of $B$ and under steady condition,the temperature difference across the wall is $36\,^{\circ}C.$ The temperature difference across the layer $A$ is....... $^{\circ}C$

Six identical rods are arranged as shown in the figure. The temperature of the junction $B$ will be......... $^oC$

For the shown figure,calculate the equivalent thermal resistance if the bricks are made of the same material of thermal conductivity $K$.
