$A$ rectangular slab consists of two cubes of copper and brass of equal sides having thermal conductivities in the ratio $4: 1$. If the free face of brass is at $0^{\circ} C$ and that of copper is at $100^{\circ} C$,then the temperature of their interface is (in $^{\circ} C$)

Two different rods $A$ and $B$ are kept in series as shown in the figure. The variation of temperature across different cross-sections is plotted in the graph. The ratio of thermal conductivities of $A$ and $B$ is

In steady state heat conduction,the equations that determine the heat current $j(r)$ [heat flowing per unit time per unit area] and temperature $T(r)$ in space are exactly the same as those governing the electric field $E(r)$ and electrostatic potential $V(r)$ with the equivalence given in the table below.
Heat flow Electrostatics
$T(r)$ $V(r)$
$j(r)$ $E(r)$

We exploit this equivalence to predict the rate $\dot{Q}$ of total heat flowing by conduction from the surfaces of spheres of varying radii,all maintained at the same temperature. If $\dot{Q} \propto R^{n}$,where $R$ is the radius,then the value of $n$ is

Three rods each of length $l$ and cross-sectional area $A$ are joined in series between two heat reservoirs as shown in the figure. Their thermal conductivities are $2K$,$K$,and $\frac{K}{2}$,respectively. Assuming that the conductors are insulated from the surroundings,the temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ of the junctions in the steady-state condition are,respectively:

$A$ cylindrical copper rod of length $2 \,m$ and cross-sectional area $2 \,cm^2$ is insulated at its curved surface. One end of the rod is maintained in a steam chamber at $100^{\circ} C$ and the other is maintained in ice at $0^{\circ} C$. The thermal conductivity of copper is $386 \,Js^{-1} \,m^{-1} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$. Find the temperature at a point which is at a distance of $120 \,cm$ from the colder end. (in $^{\circ} C$)
