  1. The temperature variation under steady heat conduction across a composite slab of two materials with thermal conductivities k1 and k2 is shown in figure then, which one of the following statements holds?

    1. k1 > k2
    2. k1 = k2
    3. k1 = 0
    4. k1 < k2
Correct Option: A

Q = KA
dt
dx

where Slope =
dt
=
Q
dxKA

i.e., slope is more for less value of K, therefore
dt
>
dt
dxⅠ materialdxⅡ material

∴ K1 < K2
