A sphere, a cube and a thin circular plate, all of same material and same mass are initially heated to same high temperture.

A

Plate will cool fastest and cube the slowest.

B

Sphere will cool fastest and cube the slowest.

C

Plate will cool fastest and sphere the slowest.

D

Cube will cool fastest and plate the slowest.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The rate of loss of heat from a body is directly proportional to the surface area of the body. A sphere has minimum surface area. Hence plate will cool fastest and sphere the slowest.
