A,B and C are the three identical conductors but made from different materials. They are kept in contact as shown. Their thermal conductivities are K, 2K and (K)/(2). The free and of A is at 100^(@)C and the free end of C is at 0^(@)C. During steady state, the temperature of the junction of A and B is nearly

Answer»

`37^(@)C`
`71^(@)C`
`29^(@)C`
`63^(@)C`.

Solution :Let R be the THERMAL conductivity of conductor, then thermal conductivity of conductor `B=(R )/(2)` and thermal conductivity of conductor `C=2R`.

`:.` HEAT current, `H=(100^(@)-0^(@))/(R+(R)/(2)+2R)=(200)/(7R)`
If T. be the temperature of the junction of A and B, then
`H=(100-T.)/(R)` or `(200)/(7R)=(100-T.)/(R)`
or `T.=(500)/(7)=71^(@)C`.
So, CORRECT choice is (b).
