Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The heat required to raise the temperature of a body by 1 K is called thermal capacity. In other words, when q is the heat supplied to the body and the temperature raises by 1 K, then the thermal capacity of body is q.This Question Belongs to General Knowledge >> Chemistry
Heat required to rise temperature of unit mass of substance by 1C/1kelvin is called specific heat
thermal capacity - energy required to raise the temperature of an object by 1Kelvin.
specific heat capacity - energy required to raise the temperature OF 1 KG OF A SUBSTANCE by 1 degree celsius.
