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

Wires A and B have identical lengths and have circular cross-sections. The radius of A is twice the radius of B i.e. rA=2rB . 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

(1) KA=4KB                     
(2) KA=2KB
(3) KA=KB/2
