A copper rod and a steel rod of equal cross-sections and lengths $(L)$ are joined side by side and connected between two heat baths as shown in the figure
If heat flows through them from $x = 0$ to $x = 2L$ at a steady rate and conductivities of the metals are $K_{cu}$ and $K_{steel}$ $(K_{cu} > K_{steel}),$ then the temperature varies as (convection and radiation are negligible)
Slope for copper is less than slope for steel $\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{Cu}}>\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{Steel}}\right)$

For a small temperature difference between the body and the surroundings the relation between the rate of loss heat $R$ and the temperature of the body is depicted by
A constant potential difference is applied to the ends of a graphite rod, whose resistance decreases with a rise of temperature. The rod can be $(1)$ covered with asbestos or $(2)$ left open to atmosphere. Answer for steady state.
Wires $A$ and $B$ have identical lengths and have circular cross-sections. The radius of $A$ is twice the radius of $B$ $i.e.$ ${r_A} = 2{r_B}$. For a given temperature difference between the two ends, both wires conduct heat at the same rate. The relation between the thermal conductivities is given by
Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal masses, area and emissivity cooling under Newton's law of cooling from same temperature are represented by the graph. If $\theta$ is the instantaneous temperature of the body and $\theta_0$ is the temperature of surroundings, then relationship between their specific heats is ..........
Variation of radiant energy emitted by sun, filament of tungsten lamp and welding arc as a function of its wavelength is shown in figure. Which of the following option is the correct match
Spheres $P$ and $Q$ are uniformly constructed from the same material which is a good conductor of heat and the radius of $Q$ is thrice the radius of $P$. The rate of fall of temperature of $P$ is $x$ times that of $Q$ when both are at the same surface temperature. The value of $x$ is :
Five identical rods are joined as shown in figure. Point $A$ and $C$ are maintained at temperature $120^o C$ and $20^o C$ respectively. The temperature of junction $B$ will be....... $^oC$
