Question

The heat energy required to raise the temperature of the given mass of a substance by 1 K is called

• A. Specific heat capacity
• B. heat capacity
• C. thermal capacity
• D. both (B) and (C)

Answer 1

The correct option is D

both (B) and (C)

1. The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance by 1°C (or 1 K) is called the Heat capacity or thermal capacity of the substance.
2. Heat capacity or Thermal capacity (C') = $\frac{H}{\theta }\left(\frac{J}{°C}\right)$.

Hence, the correct option is (D) Both B and C.
