The diagram illustrates an electric heater used to warm a beaker of water and a matching beaker that contains oil. Each is heated for one minute. The temperature of the water and the temperature of the oil rise steadily. The increase in the oil’s temperature is much larger than the increase in the water’s temperature. Why is this?
- AOil has a higher boiling point than water.
- BOil has a lower boiling point than water.
- CThe oil has a larger thermal capacity than the water.
- DThe oil has a smaller thermal capacity than the water.
