Radiation and conduction are two types of heat exchange between the body and the environment.What determines the magnitude of heat loss via these two processes
A)the amount of sweating
B)the temperature difference between the body surface and its surroundings
C)the body's absolute core temperature
D)the extent of evaporation from the body surface

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The temperature difference between the body surface and its surroundings determines the rate of heat loss via radiation and conduction. The greater the temperature difference, the greater the rate of heat transfer. Choices A, C, and D are factors that affect the rate of heat loss via other mechanisms (evaporation in the case of sweating and evaporative cooling).
