MCQ
An ideal thermometer should have
- ALarge heat capacity
- BMedium heat capacity
- ✓Small heat capacity
- DVariable heat capacity
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Small heat capacity
c
(c) The thermometer has to attain the temperature of the body. To do this, it should draw as little heat from the body as possible, so that the existing temperature of the body is not disturbed.
