Question 11

In an experiment to investigate the thermal properties of a metal block, the block is heated and its rise in temperature is observed.

The internal energy gained by the block is ΔE\Delta EΔE. The mass of the block is m m\,m and its specific heat capacity is ccc.

Which expression gives the rise in temperature ΔT \Delta T\,ΔT of the block?

A

mcΔE\frac{m c}{\Delta E}ΔEmc​

B

ΔEmc\frac{\Delta E}{m c}mcΔE​

C

ΔE⋅mc\frac{\Delta E \cdot m}{c}cΔE⋅m​

D

cΔE⋅m\frac{c}{\Delta E \cdot m}ΔE⋅mc​
