If two metallic plates of equal thicknesses and thermal conductivities \({K_1}\) and \({K_2}\) are put together face to face and a common plate is constructed, then the equivalent thermal conductivity of this plate will be

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{{2{K_1}{K_2}}}{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In series \({R_{eq}} = {R_1} + {R_2}\)
==> \(\frac{{2l}}{{{K_{eq}}A}} = \frac{l}{{{K_1}A}} + \frac{l}{{{K_2}A}}\)
==> \(\frac{2}{{{K_{eq}}}} = \frac{1}{{{K_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{K_2}}}\)
==> \({K_{eq}} = \frac{{2{K_1}{K_2}}}{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}\)
