In the heat equation, what does c represent

Answer : 'c' represent the 'Specific heat of substance'.

Explanation :

Specific heat : It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of substance by one degree Celsius. The S.I unit of specific heat is, Joule per kelvin (J/K).

Formula for specific heat,

where,

c = specific heat capacity of substance

Q = heat required

m = mass of substance

= change in temperature

Hence, 'c' represent the 'Specific heat of substance'.

divide the right side by the left side

0.024÷1.2=0.02 for example
