A copper rod and a steel rod of equal cross-sections and lengths $(L)$ are joined side by side and connected between two heat baths as shown in the figure

If heat flows through them from $x = 0$ to $x = 2L$ at a steady rate and conductivities of the metals are $K_{cu}$ and $K_{steel}$ $(K_{cu} > K_{steel}),$ then the temperature varies as (convection and radiation are negligible)

A copper rod $2\,m$ long has a circular cross-section of radius $1\, cm$. One end is kept  at $100^o\,C$ and the other at $0^o\,C$ and the surface is covered by nonconducting material to check the heat losses through the surface. The thermal  resistance of the bar in degree kelvin per watt is (Take thermal conductivity $K = 401\, W/m-K$ of copper):-

A body of length 1m having cross sectional area $0.75\;m^2$ has heat flow through it at the rate of $ 6000\; Joule/sec$ . Then find the temperature difference if $K = 200\;J{m^{ - 1}}{K^{ - 1}}$ ...... $^oC$
