Heat given to a body which raises its temperature by 1°C is (a) water equivalent (b) thermal capacity (c) specific heat (d) temperature gradient

Answer: (b). Thermal (heat) capacity = mc is the heat needed to raise the temperature of the whole body by 1°C. Specific heat is per unit mass; water equivalent is a mass; temperature gradient is dT/dx. So the answer is (b) thermal capacity.

Calorimetry, Latent Heat & Mechanical Equivalent of Heat

Heat given to a body which raises its temperature by $1^{\circ}\text{C}$ is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Thermal (heat) capacity $= mc$ is the heat needed to raise the temperature of the whole body by $1^{\circ}\text{C}$ .
Specific heat is per unit mass; water equivalent is a mass; temperature gradient is $dT/dx$ .
So the answer is (b) thermal capacity.
