Statement-1: The quantity of heat in a solid body determines its temperature.
Statement-2: Whenever heat is supplied to a solid body which is not undergoing phase change the temperature of the solid body increases.
Statement-2: Whenever heat is supplied to a solid body which is not undergoing phase change the temperature of the solid body increases.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true
Statement-1 is false because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules, not the quantity of heat. Statement-2 is true because adding heat to a solid generally increases its temperature unless a phase change is occurring.
