Is the rate of cooling the same thing as the rate of loss of heat? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, the rate of cooling of a body at a temperature is defined as the fall in temperature per second at the temperature, while the rate of loss of heat is the quantity of heat per second from a body at a given temperature.
