Question diagram
A

K₁K₂ / (K₁ + K₂)

B

2K₁K₂ / (K₁ + K₂)

C

K₁ / (K₁ + K₂)

D

K₂ / (K₁ + K₂)

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The equivalent thermal conductivity for two materials in series is given by the formula 2K₁K₂ / (K₁ + K₂), derived from the steady-state heat transfer equations.
