What is the unit of the physical quantity "Heat capacity"?
- Awatt per kelvin
- Bjoule per kelvin
- Cnewton per kelvin
- Dpascal per kelvin
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Heat capacity () is defined as the amount of heat energy () required to raise the temperature () of a given substance by one unit.
The SI unit of heat energy is Joule () and that of temperature change is Kelvin (). Therefore, the SI unit of heat capacity is joule per kelvin ().
The SI unit of heat energy is Joule () and that of temperature change is Kelvin (). Therefore, the SI unit of heat capacity is joule per kelvin ().
