In a composite rod,when two rods of different lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and of the same cross-sectional area are joined end to end,if $K$ is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity,then the value of $(l_1 + l_2)/K$ is

  • A
    $\frac{l_1}{K_1} + \frac{l_2}{K_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{l_1}{K_2} + \frac{l_2}{K_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{l_1}{K_1} - \frac{l_2}{K_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{l_1}{K_2} - \frac{l_2}{K_1}$

The figure shows three different arrangements of materials $1, 2$,and $3$ to form a wall. The thermal conductivities are $k_1 > k_2 > k_3$. The left side of the wall is $20\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ higher than the right side. The temperature difference $\Delta T$ across material $1$ has the following relation in the three cases:

$A$ copper rod of length $18 \ cm$ and a steel rod of length $6 \ cm$ are joined together to form a composite rod of uniform cross-section. The temperature of the free end of the copper rod is $100 \ ^\circ C$ and the temperature of the free end of the steel rod is $0 \ ^\circ C$. What is the temperature at the junction in $^\circ C$? (Thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel. The rod is in a steady state.)

$A$ 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....... $^{\circ}C$
