Question

On what factors does heat depend? What is the relation of heat with its factors?

Answer 1

Heat is a form of energy, and the quantity is measured in the same units as any other form of energy. The SI unit of energy, the joule, is applied to heat as well as any other energy. As for the quantities of heat transferred, it does not matter by what physical process the heat is lost. The critical parameters are the initial and final temperatures, giving a temperature difference, and the specific heat and volume of the material from which the heat is lost.
