Specific heat capacity of substance A is 3.8 J/gK, whereas the specific heat capacity of substance B is 0.4 J/gK
Which of the two is good conductor of heat ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

B. for the same heat energy and same mass, the rise in temperature of B will be more hence, B is a good conductor of heat.
