NEET Physics Newton's Law of Cooling Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): According to Newton's Law of Cooling, the rate of cooling of a body is initially higher and decreases as the temperature of the body falls. | Reason (R): The rate of loss of heat depends on the temperature difference between the body and its surroundings.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The initial high rate of cooling is due to the large temperature difference between the body and its surroundings, as indicated by Newton's Law of Cooling in the NCERT context.
