Five rods of same dimensions are arranged as shown in the figure. They have thermal conductivities $K_1, K_2, K_3, K_4$ and $K_5$. When points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at different temperatures,no heat flows through the central rod if

  • A
    $K_1 = K_4$ and $K_2 = K_3$
  • B
    $K_1 K_4 = K_2 K_3$
  • C
    $K_1 K_2 = K_3 K_4$
  • D
    $\frac{K_1}{K_4} = \frac{K_2}{K_3}$

Two metal rods $P$ and $Q$ have the same length and the same temperature difference between their ends. Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$,and their cross-sectional areas are $A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively. If the rate of flow of heat through rod $Q$ is three times that in rod $P$,then:

$A$ slab of stone of area $0.36\, m^2$ and thickness $0.1\, m$ is exposed on the lower surface to steam at $100^{\circ} C$. $A$ block of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ rests on the upper surface of the slab. In one hour $4.8\, kg$ of ice is melted. The thermal conductivity of the slab is .......... $J/m/s/^{\circ} C$ (Given latent heat of fusion of ice $= 3.36 \times 10^5\, J/kg$)

There is a layer of snow $x \ cm$ thick on water,when the temperature of the air is $-\theta ^\circ C$ (less than the freezing point). If the thickness of the layer increases from $x$ to $y$ in time $t$,then the value of $t$ is given by:

$A$ $5 \ cm$ thick ice block is present on the surface of water in a lake. The temperature of the air is $-10^{\circ}C$. How much time will it take to double the thickness of the block? (Given: $L = 80 \ cal/g$,$K_{ice} = 0.004 \ cal/s \cdot cm \cdot ^{\circ}C$,$\rho_{ice} = 0.92 \ g/cm^3$)

$A$ wall is made up of two layers $A$ and $B$. The thickness of the two layers is the same,but materials are different. The thermal conductivity of $A$ is double that of $B$. In thermal equilibrium,the temperature difference between the two ends is $36^{\circ}C$. Then the difference of temperature at the two surfaces of $A$ will be ....... $^{\circ}C$
