Questions Related to applications of heat conduction

Wearing black clothes in summer is more preferable. True or false.

physics temperature and heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
False
Wearing black clothes in summer is not preferable as during summer there is more heat present in the atmosphere and black clothes absorb more heat comparatively. So, black clothes are not preferable during summer.

State whether given statement is True or False
Two thin blankets are more warmer than one thick blanket

physics temperature and heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The blanket do not insulate; actually air insulates.
Air is trapped in the space between two thin blankets. Since air is insulator of heat, it prevents the escape of body heat. The air can't pass deeper and the layers will stop the air in two thin blankets where as there are no layers and air can pass deeper in one thick blanket. That's why two thin blankets are usually warmer than one thick blanket.

Good conductors of heat is

physics heat transfer applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. Copper

  2. Water

  3. Wood

  4. Glass

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Substances become bad conductors of heat when they contain a large number of free electrons. This is because the electrons contained in atom of these elements are not closely bond to nucleus.

Why tubes of a boiler are covered with layer of asbestos?

physics temperature and heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. Asbestos is bad conductor of heat

  2. Asbestos is good conductor of heat

  3. Neither A nor B

  4. None

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The tubes are covered with asbestos layer in order to prevent heat less by conduction.

Which of the following materials is used to make clinical thermometer?

physics temperature and heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. Magnet

  2. Mercury

  3. Copper

  4. Titanium

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mercury because it has low freezing point and high boiling point so it can be used over wide range of temperature.

The thermometric liquid should be a

physics temperature and heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. Bad conductor of heat

  2. Good conductor of heat

  3. It should be of high freezing point

  4. It should be of low boiling point

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The thermometric liquid should be of high MP and BP and good conductor of heat, so it quickly absorbs heat to obtain temperature of object.

A cold steel serving spoon is dipped in hot mushroom soup. It transfers heat to its other end by process of

physics temperature and heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. Convection

  2. Conduction

  3. Radiation

  4. None

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Conduction: Process of transfer of heat by contacting one body with other. In this process, heat transfer takes place without moving the particles.

Metal floors cool more than a wood floor in winters because:
physics temperature and heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. Metal conducts heat more readily than wood

  2. Wood conducts heat more readily than metal

  3. Metal has a higher specific heat than wood

  4. The temperature of the wood is higher than the temperature of the metal

  5. The temperature of the metal is higher than the temperature of the wood

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Metals are good conductor of heat whereas wood does not conduct heat at all.

Thus in winters, metal floors cool more than a wood floor.

Which of the following is a good conductor of heat?

physics temperature and heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. Water and glass

  2. Plastic and copper

  3. Copper and glass

  4. Copper

Show answer
Correct Option: D

__and__are good conductors of heat

physics transfer of heat applications of heat conduction applications of insulation clothes - our necessity

  1. Silver, Copper

  2. Wood,Plastic

  3. Glass,Paper

  4. Pure water,Iron

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Silver and copper are good conductors of heat.
$\because$ Silver and copper are only metals present there and as we know metals have conductivity of heat and electricity than non-metal and metalloids. So, silver and copper are god conductors of heat.
