Sorry I'm lost there.. you already specified the geometry of the bodies (spherical), their consistency (solid), and want to know what the bodies are but their material is not the answer. What property is left? Or what you mean is what they could be as real life objects? That is, not "metal sphere" but "cannonball"?
you can say, A is a conductor (not the answer) and B is a [something] in general terms.
reply
Got it, then A is a superconductor and B is a superinsulator, thats for sure.
reply
1 correct answer and 1 wrong answer :)
reply
I'm certain A is a superconductor, and B does behaves as a superinsulator, so what else could it be is beyond me. I'm at loss here. But really appreciate the sats, thank you :)
reply
superinsulators do not allow heat to flow through them along with electricity, it will be dimmer than A when heated to 1000 degrees which is contrary to the question, B appears to be a perfect emitter of heat (this is one hell of a hint)

I can not avoid to think about coal, but you said that a material is not the answer. So I can only think about a black body, but thought that was too abstract, like saying "absorber", which wasn't the answer. Let me think...
