Under steady state, the temperature of a body
Increases with time
Decreases with time
Does not change with time and is same at all the points of the body
Does not change with time but is different at different points of the body
Surface of the lake is at $2°C$ . Find the temperature of the bottom of the lake..... $^oC$
If $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ are the thermal conductivities $L_{1}$ and $L _{2}$ are the lengths and $A _{1}$ and $A _{2}$ are the cross sectional areas of steel and copper rods respectively such that $\frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}}=9, \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}=2, \frac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}=2$.
Then, for the arrangement as shown in the figure. The value of temperature $T$ of the steel - copper junction in the steady state will be ........... $^{\circ} C$
The temperature $\theta$ at the junction of two insulating sheets, having thermal resistances $R _{1}$ and $R _{2}$ as well as top and bottom temperatures $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ (as shown in figure) is given by
One end of a thermally insulated rod is kept at a temperature $T_1$ and the other at $T_2$ . The rod is composed of two sections of length $l_1$ and $l_2$ and thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The temperature at the interface of the two section is
Mud houses are cooler in summer and warmer in winter because
