Why is specific heat capacity taken as a measure of thermal inertia?
Advertisements
उत्तर
We have H = ms Δθ or Δθ = (H/ms).
It follows that if s is more, Δθ will be small (for given values of H and m). Thus, for a given body, its specific heat capacity determines the change in temperature produced by a given quantity of heat. It is thus like mass in mechanics which determines the change in velocity (or the acceleration) produced by a given force. It is quite appropriate, therefore, to regard specific heat capacity as a measure of thermal inertia.
