Questions  

A slab consists of two layers of two different materials of same thickness having thermal conductivities K1 and K2, the equivalent conductivity of the combination in series is 

a
K1+K2
b
K1+K22
c
2K1K2K1+K2
d
K1+K22K1K2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

In series slabs are,for 2 slabs of same thickness l having coefficient of thermal conductivities K1,K2 is since, in series effective resistance is Rseries=R1+R2 Resistance is R=lKA, here l = thickness, K=coefficient of thermal conductivity, A=area of cross section Rseries=R1+R2 l+lKseriesA=lK1A+lK2A  ⇒Kseries=2K1K2K1+K2
