उत्तर
(i) Substance B is a good conductor out of the two substances.
(ii) The specific heat capacity of B is lower than A. This means that less heat is required to raise the temperature of 1 g of B by 1 K than the heat required for A.
(iii) If both substances were liquids, then substance A will be more useful in radiators. This is because A will extract more heat without much change in its temperature as it has high specific heat capacity.
