NEET Physics Question - Thermal Physics - Heat Transfer

Assertion (A): Specific heat of a body may be greater than its thermal capacity.

Reason (R): Mass of a body may be less than unity.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Thermal capacity is \(C = mc\), where \(m\) is mass and \(c\) is specific heat. If \(m < 1\) (e.g., in kg), then \(c\) will be numerically greater than \(C\). Thus, (A) is true. (R) states mass can be less than unity, which is true and correctly explains (A).
