JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 10.2 transmission of heat
Three conductors of same length having thermal conductivity \(\mathrm{k}_1, \mathrm{k}_2\) and \(\mathrm{k}_3\) are connected as shown in figure.

Area of cross sections of \(1^{\text {st }}\) and \(2^{\text {nd }}\) conductor are same and for \(3^{\text {rd }}\) conductor it is double of the \(1^{\text {st }}\) conductor. The temperatures are given in the figure. In steady state condition, the value of \(\theta\) is _______ \({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
(Given : \(\mathrm{k}_1=60 \mathrm{Js}^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}, \mathrm{k}_2=120 \mathrm{Js}^{-1}\mathrm{~m}^{-1}\) \( \mathrm{~K}^{-1}, \mathrm{k}_3=135 \mathrm{Js}^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) )
