    The heat capacity of a body depends on
    (a) the heat given
    (b) the temperature raised
    (c) the mass of the body
    (d) the material of the body
    digAnsr:   c,d
    Ans : (c) the mass of the body
    (d) the material of the body
    The bigger the body, the larger is its capacity to absorb heat. Therefore, the heat capacity of a body depends on the mass of the body. Also, different bodies have different heat capacities due to their material properties, i.e. due to their molecular structure, the heat capacity of a body depends on the material of the body.
