Question

During winters we feel cold because:

• A. Heat flows from the human body to the surroundings.
• B. Heat flows from the surroundings to the human body.
• C. No heat flows between the surroundings and the human body.
• D. Direction of heat flow cannot be predicted.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Heat flows from the human body to the surroundings.

During winters, the temperature of the surrounding is less as compared to our body temperature. Heat flows from the higher temperature body to the lower temperature body until the temperature of both the bodies become equal. Thus, heat flows from the human body to the surroundings during winter and as a result of this, we feel cold.
