Two thin blankets keep more hotness than one blanket of thickness equal to these two. The reason is
Their surface area increases
A layer of air is formed between these two blankets, which is bad conductor
These have more wool
They absorb more heat from outside
Two rods having thermal conductivity in the ratio of $5 : 3$ having equal lengths and equal cross-sectional area are joined by face to face. If the temperature of the free end of the first rod is $100°C$ and free end of the second rod is $20°C$ . Then temperature of the junction is...... $^oC$
Three rods of identical cross-section and lengths are made of three different materials of thermal conductivity $K _{1}, K _{2},$ and $K _{3}$, respectively. They are joined together at their ends to make a long rod (see figure). One end of the long rod is maintained at $100^{\circ} C$ and the ther at $0^{\circ} C$ (see figure). If the joints of the rod are at $70^{\circ} C$ and $20^{\circ} C$ in steady state and there is no loss of energy from the surface of the rod, the correct relationship between $K _{1}, K _{2}$ and $K _{3}$ is
Two rectangular blocks, having identical dimensions, can be arranged either in configuration $I$ or in configuration $II$ as shown in the figure. One of the blocks has thermal conductivity $k$ and the other $2k$. The temperature difference between the ends along the $x-$ axis is the same in both the configurations. It takes $9s$ to transport a certain amount of heat from the hot end to the cold end in the configuration $I$. The time to transport the same amount of heat in the configuration $II$ is .......... $\sec$
In the Ingen Hauz’s experiment the wax melts up to lengths $10$ and $25 cm$ on two identical rods of different materials. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the two materials is
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.
