ICSE Class 10 Physics 2023 Solved Paper

Thermal capacities of substances $A$ and $B$ are same. If mass of $A$ is more than mass of $B$ then:

Question : 35 of 76

Marks: +1, -0

Which substance will have more specific heat capacity?

Solution:

We know,
Thermal capacity

=

mass

\times

specific heat capacity

∴

Specific heat capacity

=\;{\;\text " Thermal capacity "\;}/{\;\text " mass "\;}

∵

Thermal capacities of A and B are same.

∴

Specific heat capacity

∝ \;{1}/{\;\text " mass "\;}

∵

Mass of B is less than mass of A.

∵

So, Specific heat capacity of $B$ will be more.
