$A$ heat flux of $4000 \, J/s$ passes through a rod of length $10 \, cm$ and cross-sectional area $100 \, cm^2$. The thermal conductivity of copper is $400 \, W/m^{\circ}C$. The ends of the rod must be maintained at a temperature difference of ....... $^{\circ}C$.

Two rods $A$ and $B$ of the same cross-sectional area $A$ and length $l$ are connected in series between a source $(T_1 = 100^{\circ}C)$ and a sink $(T_2 = 0^{\circ}C)$ as shown in the figure. The rods are laterally insulated. If $G_A$ and $G_B$ are the temperature gradients across rod $A$ (thermal conductivity $3K$) and rod $B$ (thermal conductivity $K$),then:

$A$ rod of length $10 \, cm$ has a cross-sectional area of $100 \, cm^2$ and a thermal conductivity of $400 \, W/m^\circ C$. If the heat flow through the rod is $4000 \, J/s$,find the temperature difference between the two ends in $^\circ C$.
