JEE Main & Advanced Physics Thermometry, Calorimetry & Thermal Expansion Question Bank Topic Test - Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry (3-5-21)

  • question_answer
    Two spheres made of same substance have diameters in the ratio 1 : 2. Their thermal capacities are in the ratio of

    A) 1 : 2

    B) 1 : 8

    C) 1 : 4

    D) 2 : 1

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                  
    Thermal capacity = Mass \[\times \] Specific heat
    Due to same material both spheres will have same specific heat. Also mass = Volume (V) \[\times \] Density (\[\rho \])
    \ Ratio of thermal capacity
    \[=\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{{{V}_{1}}\rho }{{{V}_{2}}\rho }=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_{1}^{3}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_{2}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{{{r}_{1}}}{{{r}_{2}}} \right)}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3}}=1:8\]
