Question

A wooden piece piece gets heated easily compared to an iron piece. Consider the mass of both the substances are equal.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of the substance by one degree centigrade. Iron has less specific heat capacity than wood. Hence, the iron piece needs less heat energy to raise its temperature by $1^{\circ }C$ than the wooden piece.
