Two solid spheres \(A\) and \(B\) made of the same material have radii \(r_A\) and \(r_B\) respectively. Both the spheres are cooled from the same temperature under the conditions valid for Newton's law of cooling. The ratio of the rate of change of temperature of \(A\) and \(B\) is :

  1. A \(\frac{r_A}{r_B}\)
  2. B \(\frac{r_B}{r_A}\)
  3. C \(\frac{r_A^2}{r_B^2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{r_B^2}{r_A^2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{r_B}{r_A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{4 \pi}{3} r^3 \rho c\left(-\frac{d T}{d t}\right)=\sigma 4 \pi r^2\left(T^4-T_0^4\right)\) \(\therefore\left(-\frac{d T}{d t}\right)=\frac{3 \sigma}{\rho r c}\left(T^4-T_0^4\right)=H\) (say) Ratio of rates of fall of temperature \(\frac{H_A}{H_B}=\frac{r_B}{r_A}\)
