Which principle is used to measure the specific heat capacity of a substance?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The principle of heat exchange is used to measure the specific heat capacity of a substance . This principle is as follows: If a system of two objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box, then no energy can leave the box or enter the box, In this situation, heat energy lost by the hot object =heat energy gained by the cold object.
