The walls of a closed cubical box of edge $60 \text{ cm}$ are made of material of thickness $1 \text{ mm}$ and thermal conductivity $4 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cal s}^{-1} \text{ cm}^{-1} {}^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}$. The interior of the box is maintained $1000^{\circ}\text{C}$ above the outside temperature by a heater placed inside the box and connected across a $400 \text{ V}$ $DC$ supply. The resistance of the heater is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ solid cylinder of radius $R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity $K_{1}$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity $K_{2}$. The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures. There is no loss of heat across the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is

These days,people use steel utensils with copper bottoms. This is considered good for uniform heating of food. Explain this effect using the fact that copper is a better conductor of heat.
