Two slabs $A$ and $B$ of different materials but of the same thickness are joined end to end to form a composite slab. The thermal conductivities of $A$ and $B$ are $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. $A$ steady temperature difference of $12^{\circ} C$ is maintained across the composite slab. If $k_1=\frac{k_2}{2}$, the temperature difference across slab $A$ is (in $^{\circ} C$)
