The correct Answer is:
To determine which objects feel warmer to touch among steel, mica, wood, and brass during winter, we need to consider the thermal conductivity of these materials. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Thermal Conductivity**: - Thermal conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct heat. Materials can be classified as good conductors or bad conductors of heat. 2. **Identifying the Materials**: - The materials in question are: - Steel - Mica - Wood - Brass 3. **Classifying the Conductors**: - **Good Conductors**: Steel and Brass are good conductors of heat. This means they can transfer heat quickly. - **Bad Conductors**: Mica and Wood are bad conductors of heat. They do not transfer heat effectively. 4. **Effect of Temperature**: - In winter, the temperature in the room is lower. Good conductors (steel and brass) will quickly lose heat to the surrounding environment when touched, making them feel cold. - Bad conductors (mica and wood) will not lose heat as quickly. They will retain some warmth and thus feel warmer to the touch. 5. **Conclusion**: - When you touch the objects, the ones that feel warmer will be the bad conductors of heat, which are mica and wood. ### Final Answer: The objects that will feel warmer to touch are **mica and wood**. ---
