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

Verified by Experts

Here ` Q = mc_(1) Delta T_(1) = mc_(2) Delta T_(2)`
` therefore c_(1)/c_(2) = (DeltaT_(2))/(Delta T_(1)) = ( 5^(@)C)/(3^(@)C) = 5/3`
Thus, ` c_(1) gt c_(2)`
The specific heat of A is more than that of B and
`("specific heat of A")/("specific heat of B") = 5/3`
