In the variable state,the rate of flow of heat is controlled by

Two rods (one semi-circular and other straight) of the same material and of the same cross-sectional area are joined as shown in the figure. The points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at different temperatures. The ratio of the heat transferred through a cross-section of the semi-circular rod to the heat transferred through a cross-section of the straight rod in a given time is

Four rods of identical cross-sectional area and made from the same metal form the sides of a square. The temperatures of two diagonally opposite points $A$ and $B$ are $\sqrt{2}T$ and $T$ respectively in the steady state. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place,what will be the temperature difference between the other two points $C$ and $D$?

The only possibility of heat flow in a thermos flask is through its cork,which is $75 \ cm^2$ in area and $5 \ cm$ thick. Its thermal conductivity is $0.0075 \ cal/(cm \cdot s \cdot ^\circ C)$. The outside temperature is $40^\circ C$ and the latent heat of fusion of ice is $80 \ cal/g$. The time taken by $500 \ g$ of ice at $0^\circ C$ in the flask to melt into water at $0^\circ C$ is ....... $hr$.

Three discs $x, y$ and $z$ having radii $2 \ m, 2 \ m$ and $6 \ m$ respectively are coated on their outer surfaces. If the wavelengths corresponding to the maximum power radiated by them are $3 \ \mu m, 4 \ \mu m$ and $5 \ \mu m$ respectively,then which of the following is true regarding the power radiated $(P)$?

Power radiated by a black body at temperature $T_1$ is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength $\lambda_1$. If the temperature of the black body is changed from $T_1$ to $T_2$, it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength $\frac{\lambda_1}{2}$. The power radiated at $T_2$ is (in $P$)
