प्रश्न
What is meant by specific heat capacity?
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 1oC (or 1 K).
It is given as
`s =(DeltaQ)/(DeltaT xxm)`
where,
`DeltaQ = "Amount of heat energy supplied"`
`DeltaT = "Rise in temperature"`
`m = "Mass of the body"`
