Question 16

Two metal blocks of equal mass, block X and block Y, are heated using identical electric heaters for the same amount of time.

The temperature of both blocks increases constantly, but the temperature rise of block X is much less than the temperature rise of block Y. Neither block changes state.

Why is this?

A

Block X has a higher thermal capacity than block Y.

B

Block X has a lower thermal capacity than block Y.

C

Block X has a higher melting point than block Y.

D

Block X has a lower melting point than block Y.
