Three rods of same dimensional have thermal conductivity \(3 K, 2 K\) and \(K\). They are arranged as shown in the figure below Then, the temperature of the junction in steady state is

  1. A \(\frac{200}{3}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(\frac{100}{3}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(\frac{50}{3}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{100}{3}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the figure \(H =H_1+H_2 \) \(\Rightarrow \frac{3 K A(100-T)}{l} =\frac{2 K A(T-50)}{l}+\frac{K A(T-0)}{l} \) \( 300-3 T =2 T-100+T \) \( 6 T =400 \) \(\text { or } T =\frac{200}{3}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
