Q. A metal ball of surface area $200\ cm^{2}$ and temperature $527℃$ is surrounded by a vessel at $27℃$. If the emissivity of the metal is 0.4, then the rate of loss of heat from the ball is $(\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{- 8}J/m^{2} - s - K^{4})$

A) 108 joules approx
B) 168 joules approx
C) 182 joules approx
D) 192 joules approx
Explanation

(c) Rate of heat loss $E = \sigma\ eA(T^{4} - T_{0}^{4})$
$5.67 \times 10^{- 8} \times 0.4 \times 200 \times 10^{- 4} \times \lbrack(273 + 527)^{4} - (273 + 27)^{4}\rbrack$
$5.67 \times 10^{- 8} \times 0.4 \times 200 \times 10^{- 4} \times (800)^{4} - (300)^{4} = 182\ J/s$
