The ends of a metal bas of constant cross-sectional area are maintained at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ which are both higher than the temperature of the surroundings. If the bar is unlagged, which one of the following sketches best represents the variation of temperature with distance along the bar?

C
c This is a question of unsteady state conduction, which is exponential. That leaves us with options $\mathrm{c} \& \mathrm{D}$
since it is given that both the end temperatures were higher than surroundings at the beginning. heat will start to flow from ends towards the centre. Hence option $\mathrm{C}$.

A certain stellar body has radius $50 \,R_{s}$ and temperature $2 \,T_{s}$ and is at a distance of $2 \times 10^{10} \,AU$ from the earth. Here, $AU$ refers to the earth-sun distance and $R_{s}$ and $T_{s}$ refer to the sun's radius and temperature, respectively. Take, both star and sun to be ideal black bodies. The ratio of the power received on earth from the stellar body as compared to that received from the sun is close to
Two rods of same length and cross section are joined along the length. Thermal conductivities of first and second rod are ${K_1}\,\,{\rm{and}}\,\,{K_2}$. The temperature of the free ends of the first and second rods are maintained at ${\theta _1}\,\,{\rm{and }}{\theta _2}$ respectively. The temperature of the common junction is
