Derive Newton's law of cooling to show that the rate of loss of heat from the body is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings.

According to Newton’s law of cooling, the rate of cooling of a body is proportional to (Deltatheta)^(n) , where Deltatheta is the difference of the temperature of the body and the surrounding, and n is equal to :

In the circuit shown the resistance R is kept in a chamber whose temperature. is 20^(@) C which remains constant. The initial temperature and resistance of R is 50^(@)C and 15 Omega respectively. The rate of change of resistance R with temperature is (1)/(2)Omega//^(@)C and the rate of decrease of temperature of R is In (3//100) times the temperature difference from the surrounding (Assume the resistance R loses heat only in accordance with Newton's law of cooling) If K is closed at t = 0, then find the (a) value of. R for which power dissipation in it is maximum. (b) temperature of R when power dissipation is maximum (c) time after which the power dissipation will be maximum

A hot body placed in a surrounding of temperature theta_(0) obeys Newton's law of cooling (d theta)/(dt)=-k(theta-theta_(0)) . Its temperature at t=0 is theta_(1) the specific heat capacity of the body is s and its mass is m . Find (a) the maximum heat that the body can lose and (b) the time starting from t=0 in which it will lose 90% of this maximum heat.

Assertion: According to Newton's law of cooling, the rate of loss of heat, -dQ//dt of the body is directly proportional to the difference of temperature. Reason :This law holds for all type of temperature differences.
