he ratio of the coefficient of thermal conductivity of two different materials is $5 : 3$ . If the thermal resistance of the rod and thickness of these materials is same, then the ratio of the length of these rods will be

The temperature of hot and cold end of a $20cm$ long rod in thermal steady state are at ${100^o}C$ and ${20^o}C$ respectively. Temperature at the centre of the rod is...... $^oC$

Which of the following statements is/are $CORRECT$ Correct option are

$(i)$ a body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter

$(ii)$ a brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day

$(iii)$ the earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold

$(iv)$ heating systems based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on circulation of hot water

$ABCDE$ is a regular pentagon of uniform wire. The rate of heat entering at $A$ and leaving at $C$ is equal. $T_B$ and $T_D$ are temperature of $B$ and $D$ . Find the temperature $T_C$

hree rods of same dimensions are arranged as shown in figure they have thermal conductivities ${K_1},{K_2}$ and${K_3}$ The points $P$ and $Q$ are maintained at different temperatures for the heat to flow at the same rate along $PRQ$ and $PQ$ then which of the following option is correct

In variable state, the rate of flow of heat is controlled by
