STANDARD Physics Specific Heat Capacity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion : Water is used as a coolant in automobile radiators as well as a heater in hot water bags. Reason : Water has high specific heat capacity.
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Assertion is true but Reason is false.
Assertion is false but Reason is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
