Two rods $A$ and $B$ of same cross-sectional are $A$ and length $l$ connected in series between a source $(T_1 = 100^o C)$ and a sink $(T_2 = 0^o C)$ as shown in figure. The rod is laterally insulated If $G_A$ and $G_B$ are the temperature gradients across the rod $A$ and $B$, then
$\frac{{{G_A}}}{{{G_B}}} = \frac{3}{1}$
$\frac{{{G_A}}}{{{G_B}}} = \frac{1}{3}$
$\frac{{{G_A}}}{{{G_B}}} = \frac{3}{4}$
$\frac{{{G_A}}}{{{G_B}}} = \frac{4}{3}$
Mud houses are cooler in summer and warmer in winter because
The heat is flowing through two cylindrical rods of 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, the ratio of rate of flow of heat through them will be
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.
On which factor does the thermal conductivity depend ?
$Assertion :$ Two thin blankets put together are warmer than a single blanket of double the thickness.
$Reason :$ Thickness increases because of air layer enclosed between the two blankets.
