Problem

For a wall made of several different slabs placed one after another, each having the same cross-sectional area, which statement is correct at steady state? a) Heat current differs from slab to slab; the temperature drop is the same for all slabs. b) Heat current is the same through every slab; the temperature drop across a slab is proportional to its thickness LL only. c) Heat current is the same through every slab; the temperature drop across a slab is proportional to Lk\dfrac{L}{k} of that slab. d) Heat current is the same through every slab; the temperature drop across a slab is proportional to its thermal conductivity kk.}
