Three rods of identical area of cross-section and made from the same metal form the sides of an isosceles triangle $ABC$, right angled at $B$. The points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at temperatures $T$ and $\sqrt 2 T$ respectively. In the steady state the temperature of the point C is ${T_C}$. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place, $\frac{{{T_C}}}{T}$ is equal to
rod of $40\, cm$ in length and temperature difference of ${80^o}C$ at its two ends. $A$ nother rod $B$ of length $60\, cm$ and of temperature difference ${90^o}C$, having the same area of cross-section. If the rate of flow of heat is the same, then the ratio of their thermal conductivities will be
$Assertion :$ Two thin blankets put together are warmer than a single blanket of double the thickness.
$Reason :$ Thickness increases because of air layer enclosed between the two blankets.
If two metallic plates of equal thicknesses and thermal conductivities ${K_1}$ and ${K_2}$ are put together face to face and a common plate is constructed, then the equivalent thermal conductivity of this plate will be
According to the experiment of Ingen Hausz the relation between the thermal conductivity of a metal rod is $ K$ and the length of the rod whenever the wax melts is
