Question

Heat capacity of a body is the ______.

विकल्प

• energy needed to melt a body without change in its temperature

• energy needed to raise the temperature of a body by 1°C

• increase in volume of the body when its temperature increases by 1°C

• total amount of internal energy that is constant

Answer 1

Heat capacity of a body is the energy needed to raise the temperature of a body by 1°C.

Explanation:

Heat capacity (C) is defined as the amount of heat energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of a specific body by one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin). The formula for this relationship is Q = CΔT, where ΔT is the change in temperature.
