Solution

JEE Main 2019 Physics, Thermal Properties of Matter — solution figure

Let the temperature of the junction $T ^{\circ}C$ .

Rate of heat flow in Rod $1$ = rate of heat flow in Rod $2$

$\frac{3\mathrm{kA}}{d}({\theta }_{2}-T)=\frac{\mathrm{kA}}{3d}(T-{\theta }_{1})$

$\Rightarrow 9({\theta }_{2}-T)=(T-{\theta }_{1})$

$\Rightarrow 10T=9{\theta }_{2}+{\theta }_{1}$

$\Rightarrow T=\frac{9{\theta }_{2}+{\theta }_{1}}{10}=\frac{{\theta }_{1}}{10}+\frac{9{\theta }_{2}}{10}$

Solution

JEE Main 2019 Physics, Thermal Properties of Matter — solution figure

Let the temperature of the junction $T ^{\circ}C$ .

Rate of heat flow in Rod $1$ = rate of heat flow in Rod $2$

$\frac{3\mathrm{kA}}{d}({\theta }_{2}-T)=\frac{\mathrm{kA}}{3d}(T-{\theta }_{1})$

$\Rightarrow 9({\theta }_{2}-T)=(T-{\theta }_{1})$

$\Rightarrow 10T=9{\theta }_{2}+{\theta }_{1}$

$\Rightarrow T=\frac{9{\theta }_{2}+{\theta }_{1}}{10}=\frac{{\theta }_{1}}{10}+\frac{9{\theta }_{2}}{10}$
