Two rods $A$ and $B$ of different materials are welded together as shown in the figure. Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$. The thermal conductivity of the composite rod will be:

  • A
    $\frac{3K_1K_2}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{K_1 + K_2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{K_1K_2}{3(K_1 + K_2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{K_1 + K_2}{2}$

Two rods $A$ and $B$ of different materials but same cross-section are joined as shown in the figure. The free end of $A$ is maintained at $100^{\circ}C$ and the free end of $B$ is maintained at $0^{\circ}C$. If $l_2 = 2l_1$,$K_1 = 2K_2$ and the rods are thermally insulated from the sides to prevent heat losses,then the temperature $\theta$ of the junction of the two rods is ........ $^{\circ}C$.

Two plates of equal area are placed in contact with each other. Their thicknesses are $2.0 \, cm$ and $5.0 \, cm$. The temperature of the outer surface of the first plate is $-20^{\circ}C$ and the temperature of the outer surface of the second plate is $20^{\circ}C$. If the plates are made of the same material,find the temperature of the contact surface in $^{\circ}C$.
