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 K1 and K2, respectively. A steady temperature difference of 120C is maintained across the composite slab. If K1=K22 the temperature difference across slab A is

Detailed Solution
The given situation can be shown as below. Rate of flow of heat will be equal in both the slabs,(12−x)K1=K2(x−0)12−x=2x⇒ x=40C ∵K1=K22The temperature difference across slab,A=(12−x)=(12−4)=8∘C
