Twelve identical conducting rods form the edges of a uniform cube of side length $l$. In the steady state,the junctions $B$ and $H$ are maintained at $100^{\circ}C$ and $0^{\circ}C$ respectively. Find the temperature of the junction $A$ in $^{\circ}C$.

Two identical conducting rods are first connected independently to two vessels,one containing water at $100^{\circ}C$ and the other containing ice at $0^{\circ}C$. In the second case,the rods are joined end to end and connected to the same vessels. Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ $g/s$ be the rate of melting of ice in the two cases respectively. The ratio $q_2/q_1$ is

$A$ composite metal bar of uniform cross-section is made up of a length of $25 \ cm$ of copper,$10 \ cm$ of nickel,and $15 \ cm$ of aluminium. Each part is in perfect thermal contact with the adjoining part. The copper end of the composite rod is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$ and the aluminium end at $0^{\circ}C$. The whole rod is covered with an insulating belt so that no heat loss occurs at the sides. If $K_{\text{Cu}} = 2K_{\text{Al}}$ and $K_{\text{Al}} = 3K_{\text{Ni}}$,what will be the temperatures of the $\text{Cu-Ni}$ and $\text{Ni-Al}$ junctions,respectively?

Three identical rods $A, B$ and $C$ are placed end to end. $A$ temperature difference is maintained between the free ends of $A$ and $C$. The thermal conductivity of $B$ is thrice that of $C$ and half of that of $A$. The effective thermal conductivity of the system will be ($K_{A}$ is the thermal conductivity of rod $A$).

$A$ ring consisting of two parts $ADB$ and $ACB$ of same conductivity $k$ carries an amount of heat $H$. The $ADB$ part is now replaced with another metal keeping the temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ constant. The heat carried increases to $2H$. What should be the conductivity of the new $ADB$ part? Given $\frac{l_{ACB}}{l_{ADB}} = 3$.

$A$ cylinder of radius $R$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$. The thermal conductivity of the material of the inner cylinder is $K_1$ and that of the outer cylinder is $K_2$. Assuming no loss of heat,the effective thermal conductivity of the system for heat flowing along the length of the cylinder is
