Question

Assertion :Specific heat of a body is always greater than its thermal capacity. Reason: Thermal capacity is the heat required for raising temperature of unit mass of the body through unit degree.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Both assertion and reason are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both assertion and reason are incorrect

Specific heat of a body is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of unit mass of the body through a unit degree. When the mass of a body is less than unity, then its thermal capacity is less than its specific heat and vice-versa.
