Question

A large cylindrical rod of length $$L$$ is made by joining two identical rods of copper and steel of length $$\left( {\frac{L}{2}} \right)$$  each. The rods are completely insulated from the surroundings. If the free end of copper rod is maintained at $${100^ \circ }C$$  and that of steel at $${0^ \circ }C$$  then the temperature of junction is (Thermal conductivity of copper is 9 times that of steel)

A. $${90^ \circ }C$$  
B. $${50^ \circ }C$$
C. $${10^ \circ }C$$
D. $${67^ \circ }C$$
Answer :   $${90^ \circ }C$$
Solution :
From formula temperature of junction;
$$\eqalign{ & \theta = \frac{{{K_{{\text{copper}}}}{\theta _{{\text{copper}}}}{l_{{\text{steel}}}} + {K_{{\text{steel}}}}{\theta _{{\text{steel}}}}{l_{{\text{copper}}}}}}{{{K_{{\text{copper}}}}{l_{{\text{steel}}}} + {K_{{\text{steel}}}}{l_{{\text{copper}}}}}} \cr & = \frac{{9k \times 100 \times \frac{L}{2} + k \times 0 \times \frac{L}{2}}}{{9k \times \frac{L}{2} + k \times \frac{L}{2}}} = \frac{{\frac{{900}}{2}kL}}{{\frac{{10kL}}{2}}} = {90^ \circ }C \cr} $$
