Two uniform rods $AB$ and $BC$ have Young's moduli $1.2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$ and $1.5 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$ respectively. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $AB$ is $1.5 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$ and both have equal area of cross-section,then the coefficient of linear expansion of $BC$,for which there is no shift of the junction at all temperatures,is ............. $\times 10^{-5} /^{\circ}C$.
