Four identical rods of the same material are joined end to end to form a square. If the temperature difference between the ends of a diagonal is $100^{\circ}C$,then the temperature difference between the ends of the other diagonal will be ........ $^{\circ}C$.

$A$ wall consists of alternating blocks of length $d$ and coefficients of thermal conductivity $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively,as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional areas of the blocks are the same. The equivalent coefficient of thermal conductivity of the wall between the left and right sides is

The figure shows three different arrangements of materials $1, 2$,and $3$ to form a wall. The thermal conductivities are $k_1 > k_2 > k_3$. The left side of the wall is $20\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ higher than the right side. The temperature difference $\Delta T$ across material $1$ has the following relation in the three cases:
