If two liquids are heated under the same conditions, but one of them heats up faster, what does this indicate about their specific heat capacity?

دو مائعات کو یکساں حالات میں گرم کیا جائے اور ایک جلد گرم ہو تو ان کی مخصوص حرارتی گنجائش کے بارے میں کیا معلوم ہوتا ہے؟

Solution & explanation

For equal mass, equal absorbed power and comparable losses, the faster temperature rise indicates smaller c because ΔT = Q/(mc). Without equal mass and absorbed heat, that conclusion is not justified.
