Question

Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, while the other one is at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If the two bodies are brought into contact, then, assuming no heat loss, the final common temperature is\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b): Since, heat capacity of material increases with increase in temperature so, body at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ has more heat capacity than body at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Hence, final common temperature of the system will be closer to $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.\ $	herefore \quad T_{c}>50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
