Practice question
Question
Which substance typically has the highest specific heat capacity among common materials?
Explanation
Water has the highest specific heat capacity (4186J kg−1K−1) among common substances listed (Section 10.6, Table 10.3), making it an effective coolant. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Water. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
