The coefficient of thermal conductivity depends upon

Two rods, one made of copper and the other steel of the same length and cross-sectional area are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper is $385 \,Js ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ and steel is $50 \,Js ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1}$. If the copper end is held at $100^{\circ} C$ and the steel end is held at $0^{\circ} C$, the junction temperature is ........... $C$ (Assuming no other heat losses)

A partition wall has two layers $A$ and $B$ in contact, each made of a different material. They have the same thickness but the thermal conductivity of layer $A$ is twice that of layer $B$. If the steady state temperature difference across the wall is $60K$, then the corresponding difference across the layer $A$ is ....... $K$
