Question #1 Report Error
Two slabs of equal thickness and cross-sectional area have thermal conductivities K1 and K2. If they are joined in series, the equivalent thermal conductivity of the combination is:
A. sqrt(K1^2 + K2^2)
B. (K1 + K2) / 2
C. K1 * K2 / (K1 + K2)
D. 2K1 * K2 / (K1 + K2)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For slabs in series, the rate of heat flow (H) is the same. Total resistance R_eq = R1 + R2. Since thermal resistance R = L / (KA), and total length is 2L: (2L) / (K_eq * A) = (L / K1A) + (L / K2A). Canceling L/A yields 2/K_eq = 1/K1 + 1/K2. Solving gives K_eq = 2K1K2 / (K1 + K2).

Question #3 Report Error
The material of permanent magnet is
A. Steel
B. Aluminium
C. Soft iron
D. Copper

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Steel has high retentivity, retains magnetism, used for permanent magnets. Soft iron has low retentivity, used for electromagnet core (temporary). Alnico, ferrites also used.
