Dimensions of specific heat are

A

`M^(-1) L^2 T^(-2) theta^(-1)`

B

`L^2 T^(-2) theta^(-1)`

C

`L^2 T^(-2) theta^(1)`

D

`M^(1) L^2 theta^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Specific heat(s) `=(DeltaQ)/(mDeltaT) = ([ML^(2) T^(-2)])/([M][theta])= [L^2T^(-2) theta^(-1)]`
