The specific heat capacity of a body depends on _____________ .
पर्याय
the heat given
the temperature raised
the mass of the body
the material of the body

उत्तर
the material of the body
Heat capacity of a body is due to their material properties. Due to different molecular structures, different bodies have a different capacity to absorb heat. Therefore, specific heat of a body depends on the material of the body.
