Solution

  1. The materials through which heat passes rapidly are called good conductors of heat.
  2. Specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the quantity of heat required to rise the temperature of unit mass of a substance through one degree Celsius or one kelvin.
  3. So a good conductor will be having low specific heat capacity because it needs to transfer heat rapidly.
  4. Hence, a good conductor of heat will have low specific heat capacity.
