Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

For a $1\,\text{kg}$ block of aluminium, more thermal energy is needed to increase the temperature by $1\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ than for a $1\,\text{kg}$ block of copper. Why is this?

  • AAluminium is a better conductor of thermal energy than copper.
  • BAluminium is a poorer conductor of thermal energy than copper.
  • CAluminium has a higher specific heat capacity than copper.
  • DAluminium has a lower specific heat capacity than copper.
