उत्तर
- The amount of heat (Q) required to change the temperature of a substance is directly proportional to:
a. the mass of the substance (m).
b. change in temperature of the substance (ΔT).
∴ Q ∝ m and Q ∝ ΔT
∴ Q ∝ mΔT
∴ Q = cmΔT ....(1)
where ‘c’ is specific heat or specific heat capacity of a substance. From equation (1),
c = `"Q"/("m" Delta "T")` ....(2) - SI unit:
As SI unit of heat is J, mass is kg and change in temperature is °C, SI unit of specific heat capacity is J/kg °C - C.G.S. unit:
As CGS unit of heat is calorie, mass is g and change in temperature is °C, CGS unit of specific heat capacity is cal/g °C

Read the passage and answer the questions based on it.
If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat-resistant box then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. In this situation, we get the following principle.
Heat energy lost by the hot object = Heat energy gained by the cold object. This is called the ‘Principle of heat exchange’.
