Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

In an experiment used to determine specific heat capacity, an aluminium block is warmed and the increase in its temperature is measured. The energy absorbed by the block is $E$. The block has mass $m$. Its temperature increase is $\Delta T$. Which expression represents the specific heat capacity of aluminium?

  • A$\frac{m}{E\Delta T}$
  • B$\frac{m\Delta T}{E}$
  • C$\frac{E}{m\Delta T}$
  • D$\frac{E\Delta T}{m}$
