A piece of ice falls from a height \(h\) so that it melts completely. Only one-quarter of the heat produced is absorbed by the ice, and all energy of ice gets converted into heat during its fall. The value of \(h\) is: (Latent heat of ice is \(3.4\times10^5\) J/kg and \(g=10\) N/kg)

The two ends of a metal rod are maintained at temperatures \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and \(110^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The rate of heat flow in the rod is found to be 4.0 J/s. If the ends are maintained at temperatures \(200^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and \(210^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), the rate of heat flow will be:
1. 44.0 J/s
2. 16.8 J/s
3. 8.0 J/s
4. 4.0 J/s

Two metal wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If $\sigma$₁ and $\sigma$₂ are the conductivities of the metal wires respectively, the effective conductivity of the combination is
