Question

Specific heat capacity of a material is dependent on which of the following factors?

• A. Mass of the substance
• B. Temperature change
• C. The material of the substance
• D. Heat energy supplied

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

Heat energy supplied

The specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of that substance by $1^{\circ }C$.
The heat energy will differ from material to material to get a temperature rise of $1^{\circ }C$ per unit mass.
