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

Assertion : The equivalent thermal conductivity of two plates of same thickness in contact is less than the smaller value of thermal conductivity.
Reason : For two plates of equal thickness in contact the equivalent thermal conductivity is given by : $\frac{1}{K} = \frac{1}{{{K_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{K_2}}}$
