To solve the problem of finding the theoretical value of thermal conductivity for a thermal conductor heated at one end such that the other end also attains the same temperature, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Thermal Conductivity**: - Thermal conductivity (K) is a measure of a material's ability to conduct heat. It is defined by the equation: \[ K = \frac{Q \cdot L}{A \cdot \Delta T \cdot t} ...
