Heat given to a body which rises its temperature by 1oC isa)water equivalentb)specific heatc)thermal capacityd)temperature gradientCorrect answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

Thermal capacity is the amount of heat that is required in order to raise the temperature by 1degree Celsius.

Answer

It is thermal capacity because here is is not defined for  amount of mass. if specified with mass it is specific heat capacity. which is Normally given for 1grm. to raise 1K temp..

Answer

Thermal capacity is the amount of heat that is required in order to raise the temperature by 1 degree Celsius

Answer

Heat given to a body which raises its temperature by 1oC is thermal capacity.

Explanation:
Heat: Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from one object to another due to a difference in temperature. It is measured in joules (J) or calories (cal).

Temperature: Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. It is measured in degrees Celsius (oC) or Kelvin (K).

Thermal Capacity: Thermal capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a body by 1 degree Celsius. It is measured in joules per degree Celsius (J/°C) or calories per degree Celsius (cal/°C).

When heat is transferred to a body, its temperature increases. The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a body depends on its thermal capacity.

Example:
Let's consider an object with a thermal capacity of 100 J/°C. If we transfer 100 J of heat to this object, its temperature will increase by 1 degree Celsius. Similarly, if we transfer 200 J of heat to the same object, its temperature will increase by 2 degrees Celsius.

In this question, the heat given to the body is causing its temperature to rise by 1oC. This means that the heat given to the body is equal to its thermal capacity. Hence, the correct answer is option 'c) thermal capacity'.

Summary:
The heat given to a body which raises its temperature by 1oC is equal to its thermal capacity. Thermal capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a body by 1 degree Celsius. It is measured in joules per degree Celsius (J/°C) or calories per degree Celsius (cal/°C).
