10-2.Transmission of Heat
medium
A sphere, a cube and a thin circular plate, all made of the same material and having the same mass are initially heated to a temperature of $1000°C$ . Which one of these will cool first
A
Plate
B
Sphere
C
Cube
D
None of these
(IIT-1972)
Solution
(a) Rate of cooling $\frac{{\Delta \theta }}{t} = \frac{{A\varepsilon \sigma ({T^4} – T_0^4)}}{{mc}}$
==> $\frac{{\Delta \theta }}{t} \propto A$. Since area of plate is largest so it will cool fastest.
