The specific heat capacity is 

The correct answer is option 3) 

CONCEPT:

Specific heat capacity: It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celcius.

Specific heat capacity (c) is related to the heat (Q) and temperature (T) as follows

c = \(\frac{\Delta Q}{m\Delta T}\)

The SI unit of specific heat capacity if J kg^-1 K^-1

​EXPLANATION:

Specific heat capacity is related to the heat and temperature by, c = \(\frac{\Delta Q}{m\Delta T}\) 

• Since the specific heat capacity is defined for the unit temperature change. So it will be independent of the temperature rise.
• Hence option 3 is correct.

• Since in the formula of specific heat capacity, the temperature change term comes, but we need to understand that, this formula is just for calculation. 
• Actually, it is defined for unit temperature change.
