(1) Increases with time

(2) Decreases with time

(3) Does not change with time and is same at all the points of the body

(4) Does not change with time but is different at different points of the body

When two ends of a rod wrapped with cotton are maintained at different temperatures and, after some time, every point of the rod attains a constant temperature, then:

1. conduction of heat at different points of the rod stops because the temperature is not increasing
2. the rod is a bad conductor of heat
3. the heat is being radiated from each point of the rod
4. each point of the rod is giving heat to its neighbour at the same rate at which it is receiving heat

Two walls of thicknesses \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) and thermal conductivities \(k_1\) and \(k_2\) are in contact. In the steady state, if the temperatures at the outer surfaces are \(T_1\) and \(T_2,\) the temperature at the common wall is:
1. \(\dfrac{k_1T_1d_2+ k_2T_2d_1}{k_1d_2+k_2d_1}\)

2. \(\dfrac{k_1T_1+k_2d_2}{d_1+d_2}\)

3. \(\left(\dfrac{k_1d_1+k_2d_2}{T_1+T_2}\right)T_1T_2\)

4. \(\dfrac{k_1T_1d_1+ k_2T_2d_2}{k_1d_1+k_2d_2}\)

Two thin blankets keep more hotness than one blanket of thickness equal to these two. The reason is

(1) Their surface area increases

(2) A layer of air is formed between these two blankets, which is bad conductor

(3) These have more wool

(4) They absorb more heat from outside

Ice formed over lakes has

1. Very high thermal conductivity and helps in further ice formation
2. Very low conductivity and retards further formation of ice
3. It permits quick convection and retards further formation of ice
4. It is very good radiator
