Question

On which of the following factors does heat depend?

• A. Temperature of the body.
• B. Mass of the body.
• C. The material of the body.
• D. The shape of the body.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A

Temperature of the body.

B

Mass of the body.

C

The material of the body.

Heat is directly proportional to change in temperature, mass of the body and material of the body.

If you increase the temperature of the body, the amount of heat inside the body will also increase.

If you increase the mass of the body, then you will have to provide more heat to increase its temperature.

if you change the type or material of a body then the amount of heat required to raise its temperature will vary.

Q ∝ msT.

m-mass, T-temperature, s- specific heat (which depends on the material of the body)
