Two plates of equal area are placed in contact with each other. Their thicknesses are $2.0 \, cm$ and $5.0 \, cm$. The temperature of the outer surface of the first plate is $-20^{\circ}C$ and the temperature of the outer surface of the second plate is $20^{\circ}C$. If the plates are made of the same material,find the temperature of the contact surface in $^{\circ}C$.

View SolutionThe temperatures of the two outer surfaces of a composite slab,consisting of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$ and thicknesses $x$ and $4x$ respectively,are $T_2$ and $T_1$ $(T_2 > T_1)$. The rate of heat transfer through the slab in a steady state is $\left( \frac{A(T_2 - T_1)K}{x} \right)f$,where $f$ is equal to:
