On a cold morning, a metal surface will feel colder to touch than a wooden surface because 

In a steady state, the temperature at the end $A$ and $B$ of $20\,cm$ long rod $AB$ are $100\,^oC$ and $0\,^oC$ respectively. The temperature of a point $9\,cm$ from $A$ is....... $^oC$

Two cylinders $P$ and $Q$ have the same length and diameter and are made of different materials having thermal conductivities in the ratio $2 : 3$ . These two cylinders are combined to make a cylinder. One end of $P$ is kept at $100°C$  and another end of $Q$ at $0°C$ . The temperature at the interface of $P$ and $Q$ is ...... $^oC$

For the shown figure, calculate the equivalent thermal resistance if the bricks made of the same material of conductivity $K$

The temperature drop through each layer of a two layer furnace wall is shown in figure. Assume that the external temperature $T_1$ and $T_3$ are maintained constant and $T_1 > T_3$. If the thickness of the layers $x_1$ and $x_2$ are the same, which of the following statements are correct.

A slab consists of two parallel layers of two different materials of same thickness having thermal conductivities $K_1$ and $K_2$ . The equivalent conductivity of the combination is
