Question

In \[\frac{dT}{dt}\] = C(T−T₀), what does the constant C represent?

Options

• Negative constant showing rate of heat loss

• Random value changing with time

• Zero because T₀ is constant

• Positive constant showing heat gain

Answer 1

Negative constant showing rate of heat loss

Explanation:

C is negative because temperature decreases during cooling, and it represents how fast heat is lost.
