Five metal rods of the same cross-sectional area $A$ and same length $l$ are connected as shown in the figure. If the thermal conductivities of copper and steel are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively,then the resultant thermal resistance between $A$ and $C$ is:

$A$ rod $CD$ of thermal resistance $10.0 \; K/W$ is joined at the middle of an identical rod $AB$ as shown in the figure. The ends $A$,$B$,and $D$ are maintained at $200^{\circ}C$,$100^{\circ}C$,and $125^{\circ}C$ respectively. The heat current in $CD$ is $P$ watt. The value of $P$ is ... .

$A$ slab consists of two parallel layers of copper and brass of equal thickness. The ratio of their thermal conductivities is $1:4$. If the temperature of the free side of the brass is $100^{\circ}C$ and that of the copper is $0^{\circ}C$,find the temperature of the interface in $^{\circ}C$.

Two diagonally opposite corners of a square made of four thin rods of the same material and same dimensions are at temperatures $40^{\circ} C$ and $10^{\circ} C$. If only heat conduction takes place,then the temperature difference between the other two corners will be .......... $^{\circ} C$.

Two rods of the same length and material transfer a given amount of heat in $12 \text{ s}$ when they are joined end-to-end. If they are joined lengthwise, in how many seconds will they transfer the same amount of heat under the same conditions (in $\text{ s}$)?

$A$ composite metal bar of uniform cross-section is made up of a length of $25 \ cm$ of copper,$10 \ cm$ of nickel,and $15 \ cm$ of aluminium. Each part is in perfect thermal contact with the adjoining part. The copper end of the composite rod is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$ and the aluminium end at $0^{\circ}C$. The whole rod is covered with an insulating belt so that no heat loss occurs at the sides. If $K_{\text{Cu}} = 2K_{\text{Al}}$ and $K_{\text{Al}} = 3K_{\text{Ni}}$,what will be the temperatures of the $\text{Cu-Ni}$ and $\text{Ni-Al}$ junctions,respectively?
