A cylindrical metal rod BC of length 1 m and radius 1 cm is joint in series to another rod AB of same material and length but having twice the radius as shown in the figure.
End A is placed at a temperature of 100°C and end C is placed at 50°C temperature. Find the temperature of the junction B.

(K (4A)/l) (100 – θ) = (KA/l) (θ – 50)
⇒ 400 – 4θ = θ – 50 ⇒ 5θ = 450 ⇒ θ = 90°C
