Two identical metal wires of thermal conductivities $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively are connected in series. The effective thermal conductivity of the combination is

Two rods of same length, radius and material transfer a given amount of heat in '$t$' seconds when they are joined as shown in fig $(1)$. But when they are joined as shown in fig $(2)$, then they will transfer the same amount of heat under the same conditions in time: (in $t$)

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

Two metal plates of equal thickness have thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. They are joined together to form a single plate. The equivalent thermal conductivity of this composite plate is ..........

Three rods $A, B$ and $C$ of thermal conductivities $K, 2K$ and $4K$,cross-sectional areas $A, 2A$ and $2A$ and lengths $2l, l$ and $l$ respectively are connected as shown in the figure. If the ends of the rods are maintained at temperatures $100^{\circ}C, 50^{\circ}C$,and $0^{\circ}C$ respectively,then the temperature $\theta$ of the junction is ......... $^{\circ}C$

$A$ wall is made of two layers of thickness $1\ cm$ and $4\ cm$ and thermal conductivities $K$ and $3K$ respectively. If the temperature difference across the wall is $50\ ^oC$,then the temperature difference across the thin layer will be
