An iron ball requires 1000 J of heat to raise its temperature by 20°C. Calculate the heat capacity of the ball.
Assertion (A): 0 °C = 273.16 K. For our convenience we take it as 273 K after rounding off the decimal.
Reason (R): To convert a temperature on the Celsius scale we have to add 273 to the given temperature.
