At what common temperature would a block of wood and a block of metal feel equally cold or equally hot when touched with?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This will happen when both the blocks are at the temperature of the body in case when either of blocks is touched , there will be no transfer of heat from the block to the body (human) or vice versa .So ,on touching they will be filled equally hot aur equally cold.
