The wall with a cavity consists of two layers of brick separated by a layer of air.All three layers have the same thickness and the thermal conductivity of the brick is much greater than that of air. The left layer is at a higher temperature than the right layer and steady state condition exists. Which of the following graphs predicts correctly the variation of temperature $T$ with distance $d$ inside the cavity?

The two ends of a rod of length $L$ and a uniform cross-sectional area $A$ are kept at two temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2 (T_1 > T_2)$. The rate of heat transfer,$\frac{ dQ }{dt}$, through the rod in a steady state is given by

Heat is flowing through two cylindrical rods of the same material. The diameters of the rods are in the ratio $1 : 2$ and their lengths are in the ratio $2 : 1$. If the temperature difference between their ends is the same, then the ratio of the amounts of heat conducted through per unit time will be

One end of a copper rod of length $1.0\;m$ and area of cross-section ${10^{ - 3}}$ is immersed in boiling water and the other end in ice. If the coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is $92\;cal/m{\rm{ - }}s{{\rm{ - }}^o}C$ and the latent heat of ice is $8 \times {10^4}cal/kg$, then the amount of ice which will melt in one minute is

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

A composite block is made of slabs $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ of different thermal conductivities (given in terms of a constant $K$ ) and sizes (given in terms of length, $L$ ) as shown in the figure. All slabs are of same width. Heat $'Q'$ flows only from left to right through the blocks. Then in steady state $Image$

$(A)$ heat flow through $A$ and $E$ slabs are same.

$(B)$ heat flow through slab $E$ is maximum.

$(C)$ temperature difference across slab $E$ is smallest.

$(D)$ heat flow through $C =$ heat flow through $B +$ heat flow through $D$.
