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

Answer: (b). Heat needed to raise the temperature of the whole body by 1° C is its thermal (heat) capacity, C = ms. Specific heat is per unit mass, so it does not fit. So the answer is (b) thermal capacity.

Heat given to a body, which raises its temperature by 1ºC is known as

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Heat needed to raise the temperature of the whole body by $1^\circ$ C is its thermal (heat) capacity, $C = ms$ .
Specific heat is per unit mass, so it does not fit.
So the answer is (b) thermal capacity.
