Question

On which of the following does the heat capacity of a body depend?

• A. The heat input
• B. The mass of the body
• C. The initial temperature
• D. The material it is made up of

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B

The mass of the body

C

The initial temperature

D

The material it is made up of

$C_t$ = $\frac{Q}{M\times \theta }$

$C_t$ = Heat capacity

$M$ = Mass

$\theta$ = change in temperature

The heat capacity depends on the amount of substance as well as the material.

Also, it depends (slightly, within a range) on the actual temperature and pressure of the body.
