Multiple choice

Two bodies A and B are of same mass, and same amount of heat is given to both of them. If the temperature of A increases more than that of B because of heat addition, then-

  1. The specific heat capacity of A is more than that of B.

  2. The specific heat capacity of A is less than that of B.

  3. Both A and B have the same specific heat capacity but A has grater thermal conductivity.

  4. Both A and B have the same specific heat capacity but B has grater thermal conductivity.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree. If A heats up more than B with the same heat, A must have lower specific heat capacity (Q = mcΔT).
