The temperature $\theta$ at the junction of two insulating sheets,having thermal resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ as well as top and bottom temperatures $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ (as shown in figure) is given by

  • A
    $\frac{\theta_{1} R_{1}+\theta_{2} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\theta_{1} R_{2}-\theta_{2} R_{1}}{R_{2}-R_{1}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\theta_{1} R_{2}+\theta_{2} R_{1}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\theta_{2} R_{1}+\theta_{1} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$

$A$ composite slab consists of two materials having coefficients of thermal conductivity $K$ and $2K$,thickness $x$ and $4x$ respectively. The temperatures of two outer surfaces of the composite slab are $T_2$ and $T_1$ respectively $(T_2 > T_1)$. 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:

$A$ wall has two layers $A$ and $B$,each made of different materials. Both layers are of the same thickness. The thermal conductivity of material $A$ is twice that of $B$. If in the steady state,the temperature difference across the wall is $24^{\circ} C$,then the temperature difference across the layer $B$ is (in $^{\circ} C$)
