10-2.Transmission of Heat
medium

The temperature $\theta$ at the junction of two insulating sheets, having thermal resistances $R _{1}$ and $R _{2}$ as well as top and bottom temperatures $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ (as shown in figure) is given by

A

$\frac{\theta_{1} R_{1}+\theta_{2} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$

B

$\frac{\theta_{1} R _{2}-\theta_{2} R _{1}}{ R _{2}- R _{1}}$

C

$\frac{\theta_{1} R _{2}+\theta_{2} R _{1}}{ R _{1}+ R _{2}}$

D

$\frac{\theta_{1} R_{1}+\theta_{2} R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}$

(JEE MAIN-2021)

Solution

Heat flow rate will be same through both

$\therefore \frac{\theta_{1}-\theta}{ R _{1}}=\frac{\theta-\theta_{2}}{ R _{2}}$

$R _{2} \theta_{1}- R _{2} \theta= R _{1} \theta- R _{1} \theta_{2}$

$\theta=\frac{ R _{2} \theta_{1}+ R _{1} \theta_{2}}{ R _{1}+ R _{2}}$
