MCQ
A sphere, a cube and a thin circular plate, all made of the same material and having the same mass are initially heated to a temperature of $1000°C$ . Which one of these will cool first
  • Plate
  • B
    Sphere
  • C
    Cube
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
Plate
a
(a) Rate of cooling $\frac{{\Delta \theta }}{t} = \frac{{A\varepsilon \sigma ({T^4} - T_0^4)}}{{mc}}$

==> $\frac{{\Delta \theta }}{t} \propto A$. Since area of plate is largest so it will cool fastest.
