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

If both, Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of the Asserrion.

B

If both,Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

If both, Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

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