Heat required to raise the temperature of a body by 1 °C is called its_______________?
Correct answer: A. Heat capacity
- A. Heat capacity
- B. Specific heat capacity
- C. Thermal conductivity
- D. Water equivalent
Explanation
Heat capacity is the heat required to raise the temperature of an entire body by one degree. Specific heat capacity is this quantity per unit mass, so it is not the best answer here.
