Two rods, one made of copper and the other steel of the same length and cross-sectional area are joined together. The thermal conductivity of copper is $385 \,Js ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1}$ and steel is $50 \,Js ^{-1} m ^{-1} K ^{-1}$. If the copper end is held at $100^{\circ} C$ and the steel end is held at $0^{\circ} C$, the junction temperature is ……….. $C$ (Assuming no other heat losses)

The lengths and radii of two rods made of same material are in the ratios $1 : 2$ and $2 : 3$ respectively. If the temperature difference between the ends for the two rods be the same, then in the steady state, the amount of heat flowing per second through them will be in the ratio

Two rods of same length and material transfer a given amount of heat in $12$ seconds, when they are joined end to end. But when they are joined lengthwise, then they will transfer same heat in same conditions in ……. $\sec$

Which of the following statements is/are $CORRECT$ Correct option are

$(i)$ a body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter

$(ii)$ a brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day

$(iii)$ the earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold

$(iv)$ heating systems based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on circulation of hot water

In a steady state, the temperature at the end $A$ and $B$ of $20\,cm$ long rod $AB$ are $100\,^oC$ and $0\,^oC$ respectively. The temperature of a point $9\,cm$ from $A$ is……. $^oC$
