What is the temperature (in $^oC$) of the steel-copper junction in the steady state of the system shown in Figure Length of the steel rod $=15.0\; cm ,$ length of the copper rod $=10.0\; cm ,$ temperature of the furnace $=300^{\circ} C ,$ temperature of the other end $=0^{\circ} C .$ The area of cross section of the steel rod is twice that of the copper rod. (Thermal conductivity of steel $=50.2 \;J s ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1} ;$ and of copper $\left.=385 \;J s ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1}\right)$

Heat current is maximum in which of the following (rods are of identical dimension)

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)

Two bars of thermal conductivities $K$ and $3K$ and lengths $1\,\, cm$ and $2\,\, cm$ respectively have equal cross-sectional area, they are joined lengths wise as shown in the figure. If the temperature at the ends of this composite bar is $0\,^oC$ and $100\,^oC$ respectively (see figure), then the temperature $\varphi $ of the interface is......... $^oC$
