Two rods, one made of copper and the other steel of the same length and cross sectional area are joined
together. (The thermal conductivity of copper is 385 J.s–1 .m–1. K–1 and steel is 50 J.s–1.m–1.K–1.) If the copper
end is held at 100ºC and the steel end is held at 0ºC, what is the junction temperature (assuming no other heat
losses) ?
(A) 12ºC (B) 50ºC (C) 73ºC (D) 88ºC
