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
    $(K_2 l_2 T_1 + K_1 l_1 T_2) / (K_1 l_2 + K_2 l_1)$
  • B
    $(K_2 l_1 T_1 + K_1 l_2 T_2) / (K_2 l_1 + K_1 l_2)$
  • C
    $(K_1 l_2 T_1 + K_2 l_1 T_2) / (K_1 l_2 + K_2 l_1)$
  • D
    $(K_1 l_1 T_1 + K_2 l_2 T_2) / (K_1 l_1 + K_2 l_2)$

$A$ metal cooking pot has a base area of $0.2 \,m^2$ and a thickness of $2.0 \,cm$. It boils water at a rate of $3.0 \,kg/min$ when placed on a hot plate. What is the temperature of the part of the hot plate in contact with the pot (in $^{\circ} C$)? [Thermal conductivity of metal is $120 \,J s^{-1} m^{-1} K^{-1}$,latent heat of vaporisation of water is $2 \times 10^6 \,J/kg$]

Consider two rods of same length and different specific heats $(S_{1}, S_{2})$,conductivities $(K_{1}, K_{2})$ and area of cross-sections $(A_{1}, A_{2})$ and both having temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ at their ends. If the rate of loss of heat due to conduction is equal,then:

The temperature difference between two sides of a metal plate,$3 \ cm$ thick,is $15^{\circ} C$. Heat is transmitted through the plate at the rate of $900 \ kcal$ per minute per $m^2$ at steady state. The thermal conductivity of the metal is:
