Conduction
Question

Consider the following statements.
(A) The equivalent thermal conductivity of two plates of same thickness in contact (series) is less than the smaller value of thermal conductivity.
(B) For two plates of equal thickness in contact (series), the equivalent thermal conductivity is given by 1K=1K1+1K2

Select the correct option.
(a) (A) is false but (B) is true.
(b) Both (A) and (B) are true.
(c) (A) is true but (B) is false.
(d) Both (A) and (B) are false.  
 

Easy
Solution

 For two identical plates of different thermal conductivities k1 =3 unit and k2=6 unit effective thermal conductivity lies between 4 unit but not less than smaller of the two.

BOTH  A and B  are false.
