Question

Two objects A and B have equal masses. But object A has more specific heat capacity than B has. If both are given equal amount of heat, whose temperature will be more and why?Give reason.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Consider body A recieves a heat of Q

Consider body B recieves a heat of q

Now Q= mc( change in temp.)

q= mC( change in temp.)

Now Q=q ( given)

So , mc( t )= mC ( T )

[Given masses are 1 gm each and t=3 while T=5]

c × 3= C × 5

So, therefore C:c= 3:5

And from the ratio , we get that A has a higher specific heat capacity
