what factors effect the heat gained by a body?
Answers
The amount of heat gained by a body are dependent on these factors :-
(i) Rise in temperature
➡The difference in the temperature of the body and the temperature of the the body which is transferring the heat energy is the factor.
➡The more the difference the greater is the amount of heat.
➡ In other words , the more the rise in temperature after gaining heat , the more was the amount of heat.
(ii) Mass of the body.
➡The amount of heat needed to heat a body of more mass is more than that of less mass.
➡Thus the mass of a body is another factor .
(iii) Specific heat capacity.
➡The more the specific heat capacity of a body, the more will be the amount of heat required to raise the same temperature .
➡ Specific heat capacity depends on the material of the body.
