[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

Heat given to a body which raises its temperature by \(1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is (A) water equivalent. (B) thermal capacity. (C) specific heat. (D) temperature gradient.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The correct answer to this exercise is (C) specific heat.

Step by step solution

01

Analyze the options

Look at each option individually and scrutinize them in light of the given problem. Pay attention to what each of them refers to in the context of heat and temperature.
02

Choice selection

Identify the option that correctly defines the amount of heat given to a body that results in raising the temperature of the body by \(1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
03

Elimination of incorrect choices

Eliminate the incorrect options. 'Water equivalent' refers to the amount of water that would absorb or give up the same amount of heat as the substance in question for the same temperature change. 'Thermal capacity' is the measure of the ability of an object to store heat and is equal to the product of the mass of the object, the specific heat of the material which it is made, and the change in temperature. 'Temperature gradient' is the physical quantity that describes the direction and rate of temperature change in space. None of these fit the required definition.
