Question

The specific heat of a body describes the idea about the reluctance of a substance to change its ______.

• A. phase
• B. volume
• C. temperature
• D. humidity

Answer 1

The correct option is C temperature

The specific heat of a body is defined as the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a unit mass of the body by 1 ${}^{\circ }C$. More the specific heat, more amount of energy will be needed to change the temperature of a substance. Hence, the substance with more specific heat is more reluctant to change its temperature for a given amount of heat absorbed / released.
