A composite slab consists of two slabs A and B of different materials but of the same thickness placed in contact as shown in figure. The thermal conductivity of A and B are and respectively. A steady temperature difference of is maintained across the composite slab. If , the temperature difference across slab A will be:
Let temperature of junction be
Temperature difference across slab
Temperature difference across slab
Since both slabs are connected in series, heat current through both will be equal
