With increase in temperature, the total emissivity of conductors____________________?
Correct answer: A. Increases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remain same
- D. Decreases linearly
Explanation
For metallic conductors, increasing temperature generally increases the total emissivity because electrical resistivity and the associated absorption of radiation increase. The exact variation depends on the surface condition and material.
