$A$ wall consists of two layers $A$ and $B$. The two layers have the same thickness but are made of different materials. The thermal conductivity of $A$ is twice that of $B$. Under steady-state conditions,the temperature difference between the two ends is $36 ^\circ C$. The temperature difference across the two surfaces of $A$ is .......... $^\circ C$.

The coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is $9$ times that of steel. In the composite cylindrical bar shown in the figure,what will be the temperature at the junction of copper and steel (in $^{\circ} C$)?

Two thin metallic spherical shells of radii $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ $(r_{1} < r_{2})$ are placed with their centres coinciding. $A$ material of thermal conductivity $K$ is filled in the space between the shells. The inner shell is maintained at temperature $\theta_{1}$ and the outer shell at temperature $\theta_{2}$ $(\theta_{1} < \theta_{2})$. The rate at which heat flows radially through the material is:

$A$ rod $A$ of length $40\, cm$ has a temperature difference of $80^\circ C$ at its two ends. Another rod $B$ of length $60\, cm$ has a temperature difference of $90^\circ C$ at its ends. Both rods have the same area of cross-section. If the rate of flow of heat is the same for both,then the ratio of their thermal conductivities $(K_A : K_B)$ will be:
