Two rods A and B of different materials but same cross section are joined as in figure. The free end of A is maintained at 100°C and the free end of B is maintained at 0°C. If ℓ2 = 2ℓ1, K1 = 2K2 and rods are thermally insulated from sides to prevent heat losses then the temperature θ of the junction of the two rods is

In steady state, the heat current through both rods is equal. For rod A (length ℓ₁, thermal conductivity K₁) and rod B (length ℓ₂, conductivity K₂), the heat flow equation is:
Given ℓ₂ = 2ℓ₁ and K₁ = 2K₂, substitute and solve:
Simplify: 4(100 - θ) = θ → 400 - 4θ = θ → 400 = 5θ → θ = 80°C.
Final Answer: 80°C
