Q103 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 2) · Physics
Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is at , while the other one is at . If the two bodies are brought into contact, then assuming no heat loss, the final common temperature is
- A
- Correct answerB
- Cbut
- D
Solution
Loss of heat by the hot body = gain of heat by the cold body.
Since, the heat capacity increases with temperature, the hotter body will lose more energy when its temperature falls down from to compared to the energy required by the cold body to raise its temperature from to . Thus, the temperature will be more than .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
