A wall has two layers A and B made of different materials. The thickness of both the layers is the same. The thermal conductivity of A and B are KA and KB such that  KA = 3KB. The temperature across the wall is 20°C. In thermal equilibrium 

(1) The temperature difference across A = 15°C

(2) The temperature difference across A = 5°C

(3) The temperature difference across A is 10°C

(4) The rate of transfer of heat through A is more than that through B.

It is hotter for the same distance over the top of fire than it is inside of it, mainly because

(1) Air conducts heat upwards

(2) Heat is radiated upwards

(3) Convection takes more heat upwards

(4) Convection, conduction and radiation all contribute significantly transferring heat upwards

One likes to sit in the sunshine in the winter season, because:

1. the air around the body is hot, and the body absorbs heat from it.
2. we get energy from the sun.
3. we get heat by conduction from the sun.
4. none of the above

Air is a bad conductor of heat or partly conducts heat. Still, a vacuum is to be placed between the walls of the thermos flask because:

1.  it is difficult to fill the air between the walls of the thermos flask.
2. due to more pressure of air, the thermos can get cracks.
3. by convection, heat can flow through the air.
4. on filling the air, there is no advantage.

While measuring the thermal conductivity of a liquid, we keep the upper part hot and the lower part cool, so that:

1. convection may be stopped
2. radiation may be stopped
3. heat conduction is easier downwards
4. it is easier and more convenient to do so
