Question 14

Four blocks of different materials are each supplied with the same quantity of thermal energy. The resulting temperature rises are measured and recorded:

  • Block A: temperature rise = 12 ∘C12\ ^\circ\text{C}12 ∘C
  • Block B: temperature rise = 4 ∘C4\ ^\circ\text{C}4 ∘C
  • Block C: temperature rise = 8 ∘C8\ ^\circ\text{C}8 ∘C
  • Block D: temperature rise = 16 ∘C16\ ^\circ\text{C}16 ∘C
