Hello, I have two materials with different thermal conductivity.

I am supposed to draw the temperature vs. distance graph between 23 K and 200K. I assume that in it is a linear decrease if you look at only one of the materials, but they have different slopes because of the different thermal conductivity properties? Is there a easy way to relate the slope to the thermal conductivities?

PS:

Later in the assignment I am supposed to calculate the temperatures where the materials meet. If I do this first, this would answer my question. But I am wondering if you can draw this without doing any calculations?

any ideas? you need to provide your attempt at a solution, see the template
 
lanedance:

If you read my post you will see that my question is allmost a yes or no question.
 
yes,
 
do you know have the definition of thermal conductivity is?

should be a big hint there if you write out the equation...
 
"should be a big hint there if you write out the equation... "

Thank you, this statement made me figure it out.
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
