To state: The term used to describe the energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of material by 1°C.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Every substance absorbs a different amount of thermal energy from the heat source which depends upon its individual properties. Due to the absorption of this thermal energy, its temperature changes, which depend upon the nature of the substance.
The specific heat of a material is defined as the amount of heat energy that is needed to increase the temperature of 1 kg material by
Conclusion:
The energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of material by 1°C is a material’s specific heat.
