Q. Assertion : Woolen clothes keep the body warm in winter.
Reason : Air is a bad conductor of heat.

AIIMSAIIMS 2002Thermal Properties of Matter

Solution:

Woolen fibres enclose a large amount of air in them. Both wool and air are the bad conductors of heat and their coefficient of thermal conductivity is small. Thus they prevent any loss of heat from our body.
