Question

The value of specific heat depends on

• A. Nature of the material
• B. amount of work done externally due to expansion of the substance caused by raising the temperature
• C. both (a) and (b)
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C both (a) and (b)

As the specific heat varies depending on the nature of material like water has different specific material than copper. So the value of specific heat depends on nature of the material.

Similarly, it depends on the amount of work done externally due to the expansion of the substance caused by raising the temperature.
