The coefficients of thermal conductivity of copper, mercury and glass are respectively $Kc, Km$ and $Kg$ such that $Kc > Km > Kg$ . If the same quantity of heat is to flow per second per unit area of each and corresponding temperature gradients are $Xc, Xm$ and $Xg$ , then
${X_c} = {X_m} = {X_g}$
${X_c} > {X_m} > {X_g}$
${X_c} < {X_m} < {X_g}$
${X_m} < {X_c} < {X_g}$
Four rods of silver, copper, brass and wood are of same shape. They are heated together after wrapping a paper on it, the paper will burn first on
A rod of length $L$ and uniform cross-sectional area has varying thermal conductivity which changes linearly from $2K$ at endAto $K$ at the other end $B$. The endsA and $B$ of the rod are maintained at constant temperature $100^o C$ and $0^o C$, respectively. At steady state, the graph of temperature : $T = T(x)$ where $x =$ distance from end $A$ will be
Five rods of same dimensions are arranged as shown in the figure. They have thermal conductivities $K1, K2, K3, K4$ and $K5$ . When points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at different temperatures, no heat flows through the central rod if
Two rods one made of copper and other made of steel of the same length and same cross sectional area are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper and steel are $385\,J\,s ^{-1}\,K ^{-1}\,m ^{-1}$ and $50\,J\,s ^{-1}\,K ^{-1}\,m ^{-1}$ respectively. The free ends of copper and steel are held at $100^{\circ}\,C$ and $0^{\circ}\,C$ respectively. The temperature at the junction is, nearly $.......^{\circ}\,C$
