Which of the two is good conductor of heat ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which substance is a good conductor of heat based on their specific heat capacities, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Specific Heat Capacity**: Specific heat capacity (c) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 Kelvin (or 1 degree Celsius). The lower the specific heat capacity, the less heat is required to change the temperature of the substance. 2. **Identify the Given Values**: - Specific heat capacity of substance A (c_A) = 3.8 J/gK ...
