What does the amount of heat in an object depend on?
Answers
Explanation:
here is your answer dear my pleasure if it helps you
Answer:
Since heat is defined as the transfer of energy between
two systems as a result of a temperature difference, the
quantity depends on more than one factor.
It depends on the temperature of each system (not just the
temperature difference since in the case of
electromagnetic radiation radiant power is proportional to
temperature to the 4th power).
It depends on whether the transfer of energy is through
conduction, convection or radiation.
In the case of conduction and convection it depends on
area of contact.
In the case or radiation it depends on area radiating for the higher temperature system and area receiving radiation from the just system for the lower temperature system.
It can depend on the materials involved.
In the case of convection it depends on internal
temperature differences driving the convection, how easily
the fluid convects and a bunch of other factors.
