Sample questions

1. 1.The amount of heat absorbed or given off per unit mass to change a substance's temperature by one unit is its:
   • A.latent heat
   • B.specific heat capacity
   • C.thermal conductivity
   • D.heat of transformation
2. 2.Assertion (A): Newton's law of cooling holds good only for small differences of temperature between the body and its surroundings. Reason (R): For small temperature differences the combined rate of cooling due to conduction, convection and radiation is proportional to the temperature difference.
   • A.Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
   • B.Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
   • C.A is true but R is false
   • D.A is false but R is true
3. 3.A material with a greater value of thermal conductivity K will:
   • A.conduct heat more slowly
   • B.conduct heat more rapidly
   • C.act as a better insulator
   • D.have a higher specific heat
4. 4.Burns from steam at 100 oC are usually more serious than those from boiling water at 100 oC because steam:
   • A.is at a higher temperature
   • B.carries extra heat equal to its latent heat of vaporisation
   • C.has a higher specific heat capacity
   • D.conducts heat faster
5. 5.The mode of heat transfer that needs no material medium and can occur through vacuum is:
   • A.conduction
   • B.convection
   • C.radiation
   • D.diffusion
