The thermal energy required to cause a unit temperature rise is called
Correct answer: A. Heat Capacity
- A. Heat Capacity
- B. Heat Volume
- C. Heat Conductor
- D. Heat energy/ unit volume
Explanation
Heat capacity (C) is the amount of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by one unit (usually one degree Celsius or Kelvin). It is a measure of a substance's ability to absorb and store thermal energy. Heat capacity is typically expressed in units of energy per unit temperature, such as joules per degree Celsius (J/°C) or joules per kelvin (J/K).

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.
