Question 22 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Which of these actions would increase heat transfer between two objects?

Answer
e
establishing their thermal equilibrium
i
increasing the area of their contact
u
using objects with similar specific heats
r
reducing the time of their contact

Explanation

Increasing the contact area gives heat more space to flow between the objects, so it can increase the rate of heat transfer. Establishing thermal equilibrium removes the temperature difference that drives heat transfer, and reducing contact time allows less heat to move. Therefore, the correct choice is B, increasing the area of their contact.
