Question
Name three factors on which heat energy absorbed by a body depends and state how does it depend on them.
Solution
- Mass of the body: The amount of heat energy required is directly proportional to the mass of the substance.
- Nature of material of the body: The amount of heat energy required depends on the nature on the substance and it is expressed in terms of its specific heat capacity c.
- Rise in temperature of the body: The amount of heat energy required is directly proportional to the rise in temperature.
