Question

Specific heat of a solid does not depend on which of the following factors?

• A. Mass of the solid
• B. Temperature increase of solid
• C. Nature of the solid
• D. Volume of the solid

Answer 1

The correct option is D Volume of the solid

Specific heat is property of body and given as $c=\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}$, where $Q$ is the heat supplied, $m$ is the mass of body and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature.

So, heat capacity depends upon the mass, temperature change and nature of the solid. It doesn't depend upon the volume of the solid.
