Q.

Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is at 100°C, while the other one is at 0°C. If the two bodies are brought into contact, then, assuming no heat loss, the final common temperature is         [2016]

1 50°C  
2 more than 50°C  
3 less than 50°C but greater than 0°C  
4 0°C  

Ans.

(2)

Since, heat capacity of material increases with increase in temperature so, body at 100°C has more heat capacity than body at 0°C. Hence, final common temperature of the system will be closer to 100°C.
