In a composite rod, when two rods of different lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ and of the same cross-sectional area are joined from end to end then if $K$ is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity, the value of $(l_1 + l_2)/K$ is
$\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{K_1}}} + \frac{{{l_2}}}{{{K_2}}}$
$\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{K_2}}} + \frac{{{l_2}}}{{{K_1}}}$
$\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{K_1}}} - \frac{{{l_2}}}{{{K_2}}}$
$\frac{{{l_1}}}{{{K_2}}} - \frac{{{l_2}}}{{{K_1}}}$
Two rods are connected as shown. The rods are of same length and same cross sectional area. In steady state, the temperature $\left( \theta \right)$ of the interface will be........ $^oC$
The intensity of radiation emitted by the Sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of $510\,\, nm$ and that emitted by the North Star has the maximum value at $350\,\, nm$. If these stars behave like black bodies then the ratio of the surface temperature of the Sun and the North Star is
A long metallic bar is carrying heat from one of its ends to the other end under steady-state. The variation of temperature $\theta$ along the length $x$ of the bar from its hot end is best described by which of the following figures ?

Temperature of two ends are as shown in figure. As we move along the rod, temperature are as shown in following
Two identical metal wires of thermal conductivities $K _{1}$ and $K _{2}$ respectively are connected in series. The effective thermal conductivity of the combination is
