Question

After holding a pack of ice in your hand for some time, you put your hand in water at room temperature. Your hand would now feel .

• A. same as before
• B. colder
• C. hotter

Answer 1

The correct option is C hotter

While holding ice in your hands for a while, there is a heat transfer from your hand to the ice. As a result, your hand would feel cold. Now, if you put your hand in water at normal temperature, your hand would feel hotter, as it is now in contact with water which is at a higher temperature than that of your hands causing the heat to flow from water to your hand.
