Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg°C. How much heat is required to raise temperature of 2 kg water by 10°C?
A. 84000 J
B. 42000 J
C. 8400 J
D. 4200 J
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Q = mcΔθ = 2 × 4200 × 10 = 84,000 J = 84 kJ. Large specific heat of water makes it useful for cooling and climate moderation. Always check units: mass kg, c J/kg°C, ΔT °C.
Explanation:
Newton = kg·m/s², derived from base units. Kilogram, second, candela are base units. Derived units expressed in terms of base units. Joule, watt, pascal are also derived.
