The diagram illustrates an electric heater heating a beaker of water and an identical beaker that contains oil. Each is heated for one minute. The water temperature and the oil temperature both rise steadily. The rise in the oil’s temperature is much larger than the rise in the water’s temperature. Why does this happen?
- 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.
