A room is maintained at ${20^o}C$ by a heater of resistance $20$ ohm connected to $200$ volt mains. The temperature is uniform through out the room and heat is transmitted through a glass window of area $1{m^2}$ and thickness $0.2$ cm. What will be the temperature outside ....... $^oC$ ? Given that thermal conductivity $K=0.2$ for glass is and $J = 4.2 J/cal$
A wall consists of alternating blocks of length $d$ and coefficient of thermal conductivity $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ respectively as shown in figure. The cross sectional area of the blocks are the same. The equivalent coefficient of thermal conductivity of the wall between left and right is
Two identical square rods of metal are welded end to end as shown in figure $(a)$. Assume that $10\, cal$ of heat flows through the rods in $2\, min$. Now the rods are welded as shown in figure, $(b)$. The time it would take for $10$ cal to flow through the rods now, is ........ $\min$
Four rods of same material and having the same cross section and length have been joined, as shown. The temperature of the junction of four rods will be ............... $^{\circ} C$
Two vessels of different materials are similar in size in every respect. The same quantity of ice filled in them gets melted in $20$ minutes and $40$ minutes respectively. The ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials is
