Two thermometers are constructed in the ...

Two thermometers are constructed in the same way except that one has a spherical bulb and the other an elongated cylindrical bulb.which one will respond quickly to temperature changes?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The cylindrical bulb has a larger surface area, So the rate of flow of heat will be more in this case does the thermometer with cylindrical bulb will response more quickly.
