The amount of heat absorbed by a body while raising its temperature is given by the equation. `Q = mstheta` , here Q is the amount of heat, m is the mass of the body, s is the specific heat capacity and `theta` is the rise tmemperature. Dertermine the S.I. unit and C.G.S. unit of heat and specific heat capacity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) S.I. unit ofheat is `1 J (= 1"kg" m^(2) s^(-2))` "and its CGS unit is" `1 "erg" (= 1 g cm^(2) s^(-2))`
(ii) erg `g^(-1)" "^(0)C^(-1),J kg^(-1) k^(-1)`
