What is meant by specific heat capacity?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Specific heat capacity of a body can be defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of that body by 1°C (or 1 K).
It is given as:
s = `(Delta Q)/(DeltaT xx m)`
where,
ΔQ = Amount of heat energy supplied
ΔT = Rise in temperature
m = Mass of the body

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 the 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 (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. |
