10-2.Transmission of Heat
easy

Newton’s law of cooling, holds good only if the temperature difference between the body and the surroundings is

A

Less than ${10^o}C$

B

More than ${10^o}C$

C

Less than ${100^o}C$

D

More than ${100^o}C$

Solution

(a) When temperature difference between the body and the surroundings is small, then loss of heat energy from the body is mainly due to the process of convection. In such a case, the rate of cooling of the body is governed by Newton's law of cooling.
