Two conductors having same width and length, thickness d₁ and d₂, thermal conductivity K₁ and K₂ are placed one above the another. Find the equivalent thermal conductivity.

A

(d₁ + d₂)(K₁d₂ + K₂d₁)/2(K₁ + K₂)

B

(d₁ - d₂)(K₁d₂ + K₂d₁)/2(K₁ + K₂)

C

K₁d₁ + K₂d₂/d₁ + d₂

D

K₁ + K₂/d₁ + d₂

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Effective thermal resistance, Rp = R1R2 / (R1 + R2).
