Two slabs \(A\) and \(B\) of different materials but of the same thickness are joined end to end to form a composite slab. The thermal conductivities of \(A\) and \(B\) are \(k_1\) and \(k_2\) respectively. A steady temperature difference of \(12^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is maintained across the composite slab. If \(k_1=\frac{k_2}{2}\), the temperature difference across slab \(A\) is

  1. A \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(6^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given situation can be shown as Rate of flow of heat will be equal in both the slabs \(\begin{aligned} & \therefore & (12-x) K_1 & =K_2(x-0) \\ & & 12-x & =2 x \quad\left(\because K_1=\frac{K_2}{2}\right) \\ & & x & =4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \end{aligned}\) The temperature…
