Question

The quantity required to increase the temperature of a body by 1 Kelvin is called -

• A. Thermal capacity
• B. water equivalent
• C. Remain same
• D. molar specific heat

Answer 1

The correct option is A Thermal capacity

Solution

The quantity required to increase

the temperature of a body by 1K

is called thermal capacity

Mathematically,

$\Delta Q=C\Delta T$

where, $\Delta Q\to$ change in heat

$C\to$ thermal capacity

$\Delta T\to$ change in temperature
