The heat capacity of a body is dependent on
The heat capacity of a body is dependent on
Options
- Athe increase in temperature
- Bthe mass of the body
- Cthe heat supplied
- Dthe material of the body
Correct answer
D. the material of the body
Step-by-step solution
Heat capacity of a body is defined as the amount of heat required to raise its temperature by unity.
where is the mass of the body and is the specific heat capacity of the material.
Since specific heat capacity is a characteristic property of the material, the heat capacity of a body depends on its mass and the material it is made of.
It is independent of the heat supplied and the increase in temperature.
