Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

During an experiment to determine specific heat capacity, a block of aluminium is heated and the increase in its temperature is measured. The block receives internal energy $\Delta E$. Its mass is $m$. The temperature increase of the block is $\Delta T$. Which expression gives the specific heat capacity of aluminium?

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