Equal heat is given to two objects ...

Equal heat is given to two objects A and B of mass 1g. Temperature of A increases by `3^(@)C` and B by `5^(@)C` . Which object has more specific heat and by what factor ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`{:(,,"For A","For B"),(,"Mass (m)" , 1g, 1g),(,"Temperature", ,),(,"difference" (Delta T), 3^(@)C,5^(@)C):}`
`Q_(A) = Q_(B)`
To find : `c_(A) = ? , c_(B) = ?`
formula : Q`= mcDeltaT`
Solutin `Q_(A) = Q_(B)`
` m_(A)c_(A)DeltaT_(A) = m_(B)c_(B) DeltaT_(B)`
`1xxc_(A) xx 3 = 1 xx c_(B)xx 5`
`3c_(A) = 5c_(B)`
`C_(A) = (5)/(3)c_(B)`
`to` Specific heat of A is more .
`to` It is greater by a factor fo `(5)/(3)`
