10-2.Transmission of Heat
medium
Two rods $A$ and $B$ of different materials are welded together as shown in figure.Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$ The thermal conductivity of the composite rod will be

A
$\frac{{3{K_1}{K_2}}}{2}$
B
$\frac{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}{3}$
C
$\;\frac{{{K_1}{K_2}}}{{3({K_1} + {K_2})}}$
D
$\;\frac{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}{2}$
(NEET-2017)
Solution
Eqiuivalent thermal conductivity of the composite rod in parallel combination will be,
$K = \frac{{{K_1}{A_1} + {K_2}{A_2}}}{{A{ _1} + {A_2}}} = \frac{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}{2}$
