The energy supply being cut-off, an electric heater element cools down to the temperature of its surrounding, but it will not cool further because

supply is cut off

it is made of metal

surroundings are radiating

element and surroundings have the same temperature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

When element and surrounding have the same temperature. There will be no temperature difference, hence, heat will not flow from the filaments and its temperature remains constant.
