Question

A samosa appears to be cool outside but it is hot when we eat because the curry inside it has ingredients of

• A. lower specific heat
• B. higher specific heat
• C. zero specific heat
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Correct answer: higher specific heat 

The curry inside the samosa remains hot for a longer time because it contains ingredients with a higher specific heat. Substances with higher specific heat require more heat energy to raise their temperature and also retain heat for a longer duration. - The outer crust cools quickly because it has a lower specific heat. - The inner curry stays hot because it stores more thermal energy due to its higher specific heat. Hence, the correct answer is higher specific heat.
