Sensation of Warmth and Heat Flow – Rankers Physics

Heat Transfer - Conduction and Convection: Practice Problem & Solution

Assertion (A): When you touch two bodies, the body which is felt warmer must be of higher temperature than the other one. Reason (R): The heat flows from lower temperature to higher temperature.  
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Heat Transfer - Conduction and Convection. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Assertion (A) is true; sensation of warmth indicates heat flow to the body from the object. Reason (R) is false; heat always flows from higher to lower temperature. Thus, (A) is true but (R) is false.
