Two metal cubes $A$ and $B$ of the same size are arranged as shown in the figure. The extreme ends of the combination are maintained at the indicated temperatures. The arrangement is thermally insulated. The coefficients of thermal conductivity of $A$ and $B$ are $300 \; W/m^{\circ}C$ and $200 \; W/m^{\circ}C$,respectively. After steady state is reached,the temperature of the interface will be ...... $^{\circ}C$.

If the thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel,what will be the temperature of the junction in $^oC$?

Three rods of the same dimensions have thermal conductivities $3k, 2k$ and $k$. They are arranged as shown,with their ends at $100\,^{\circ}C, 50\,^{\circ}C$ and $0\,^{\circ}C$. The temperature of their junction is

Two conducting cylinders of equal length but different radii are connected in series between two heat baths kept at temperatures $T_1=300 \ K$ and $T_2=100 \ K$,as shown in the figure. The radius of the bigger cylinder is twice that of the smaller one and the thermal conductivities of the materials of the smaller and the larger cylinders are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. If the temperature at the junction of the two cylinders in the steady state is $200 \ K$,then $K_1 / K_2 = . . . . . .$

One end of a $2.35\,m$ long and $2.0\,cm$ radius aluminium rod $(K = 235\,W\cdot m^{-1}K^{-1})$ is held at $20^{\circ}C$. The other end of the rod is in contact with a block of ice at its melting point. The rate in $kg\cdot s^{-1}$ at which ice melts is (Take latent heat of fusion for ice as $\frac{10}{3} \times 10^5\,J\cdot kg^{-1}$)

According to the experiment of Ingen Hausz, the relation between the thermal conductivity $K$ of a metal rod and the length $l$ of the rod up to which the wax melts is:
