Two ends of rods of length $L$ and radius $r$ of the same material are kept at the same temperature difference. Which of the following rods conducts the most heat?

Three rods of the same dimensions have thermal conductivities $3K, 2K$,and $K$. They are arranged as shown in the figure. The temperature of the junction in the steady state is:

Define thermal conductivity. Also,provide its $SI$ unit and dimensional formula.

The ends $Q$ and $R$ of two thin wires,$PQ$ and $RS$,are soldered (joined) together. Initially,each of the wires has a length of $1 \,m$ at $10^{\circ} C$. Now,the end $P$ is maintained at $10^{\circ} C$,while the end $S$ is heated and maintained at $400^{\circ} C$. The system is thermally insulated from its surroundings. If the thermal conductivity of wire $PQ$ is twice that of the wire $RS$ and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of $PQ$ is $1.2 \times 10^{-5} \,K^{-1}$,the change in length of the wire $PQ$ is (in $\,mm$)

$A$ cylindrical rod with one end in a steam chamber and the other end in ice results in melting of $0.1 \ gm$ of ice per second. If the rod is replaced by another with half the length and double the radius of the first,and if the thermal conductivity of the material of the second rod is $\frac{1}{4}$ that of the first,the rate at which ice melts in $gm/sec$ will be:

Three rods of same dimensions have thermal conductivities $3K, 2K$ and $K$. They are arranged as shown with their ends at $100^{\circ}C, 50^{\circ}C$ and $0^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the junction is
