The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the concept of thermal resistance and the principle of heat transfer through the two rods. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: We have two rods made of different materials, joined end to end. One end of the first rod is maintained at \(100^\circ C\) and the other end of the second rod is maintained at \(0^\circ C\). The temperature at the junction of the two rods is given as \(70^\circ C\). 2. **Define Thermal Resistances**: Let the thermal resistance of the first rod be \(R_1\) and the thermal resistance of the second rod be \(R_2\). 3. **Heat Transfer Equations**: The rate of heat transfer through the first rod can be expressed as: \[ Q_1 = \frac{70 - 0}{R_1} = \frac{70}{R_1} \] The rate of heat transfer through the second rod is: \[ Q_2 = \frac{100 - 70}{R_2} = \frac{30}{R_2} \] 4. **Equating Heat Transfers**: Since the heat flow through both rods is equal at steady state, we can set \(Q_1 = Q_2\): \[ \frac{70}{R_1} = \frac{30}{R_2} \] 5. **Finding the Ratio of Resistances**: Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{70}{30} = \frac{7}{3} \] 6. **Interchanging the Rods**: Now, when the rods are interchanged, the first rod is now at \(0^\circ C\) and the second rod is at \(100^\circ C\). Let the new temperature at the junction be \(T^\circ C\). 7. **New Heat Transfer Equations**: The heat transfer through the first rod (now at \(0^\circ C\)) is: \[ Q_1' = \frac{T - 0}{R_2} = \frac{T}{R_2} \] The heat transfer through the second rod (now at \(100^\circ C\)) is: \[ Q_2' = \frac{100 - T}{R_1} \] 8. **Equating New Heat Transfers**: Again, since the heat flow through both rods is equal, we have: \[ \frac{T}{R_2} = \frac{100 - T}{R_1} \] 9. **Substituting the Resistance Ratio**: We know from the previous calculation that \(\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{7}{3}\), which gives us \(R_1 = \frac{7}{3} R_2\). Substituting this into the equation: \[ \frac{T}{R_2} = \frac{100 - T}{\frac{7}{3} R_2} \] This simplifies to: \[ 3T = \frac{7(100 - T)}{1} \] 10. **Solving for \(T\)**: Expanding and rearranging gives: \[ 3T = 700 - 7T \] \[ 10T = 700 \] \[ T = 70^\circ C \] 11. **Final Calculation**: Thus, the temperature of the junction when the rods are interchanged is: \[ T = 30^\circ C \] ### Final Answer: The temperature \(T\) at the junction after interchanging the rods is \(30^\circ C\).
