To increase the temperature of $1.0\,\text{kg}$ of copper by $1.0\,^{\circ}\text{C}$, less thermal energy is required than to increase the temperature of $1.0\,\text{kg}$ of water by $1.0\,^{\circ}\text{C}$. Which statement gives the explanation?
- ACopper has a higher melting point.
- BCopper has a lower specific heat capacity.
- CCopper has a smaller specific latent heat.
- DCopper is a better conductor of thermal energy.
