Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The word "sheet" implies that the copper is quite thin.

Copper is also a very good conductor of heat.

Therefore, with a very short heat flow distance to cover and a high rate of heat transmission, temperature differences on either side of the sheet are almost instantaneously eliminated by heat flow.
