In variable state, the rate of flow of heat is controlled by
Density of material
Specific heat
Thermal conductivity
All the above factors
Mud houses are cooler in summer and warmer in winter because
A composite block is made of slabs $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ of different thermal conductivities (given in terms of a constant $K$ ) and sizes (given in terms of length, $L$ ) as shown in the figure. All slabs are of same width. Heat $'Q'$ flows only from left to right through the blocks. Then in steady state $Image$
$(A)$ heat flow through $A$ and $E$ slabs are same.
$(B)$ heat flow through slab $E$ is maximum.
$(C)$ temperature difference across slab $E$ is smallest.
$(D)$ heat flow through $C =$ heat flow through $B +$ heat flow through $D$.
One end of a thermally insulated rod is kept at a temperature $T_1$ and the other at $T_2$. The rod is composed of two sections of lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The temperature at the interface of the two sections is
A rod $C D$ of thermal resistance $10.0\; {KW}^{-1}$ is joined at the middle of an identical rod ${AB}$ as shown in figure, The end $A, B$ and $D$ are maintained at $200^{\circ} {C}, 100^{\circ} {C}$ and $125^{\circ} {C}$ respectively. The heat current in ${CD}$ is ${P}$ watt. The value of ${P}$ is ... .
On heating one end of a rod, the temperature of whole rod will be uniform when
