Two metallic plates of equal lengths and thermal conductivities k1 and k2 are put together such that their ends coincide. If their cross-sectional areas are the same, then the equivalent thermal conductivity of the combination will be :
  1. \(\frac{\mathrm{k}_{1} \mathrm{k}_{2}}{\mathrm{k}_{1}+\mathrm{k}_{2}}\)
  2. \(\frac{2 \mathrm{k}_{1} \mathrm{k}_{2}}{\mathrm{k}_{1}+\mathrm{k}_{2}}\)
  3. \(\frac{k_{1}+k_{2}}{2}\)
  4. \(\sqrt{\mathrm{k}_{1} \mathrm{k}_{2}}\)

Answer

(C) k_ 1 +k_ 2 2
