The increaseinthedimensionsofabodyduetotheincreaseinitstemperature
is called thermal expansion.
The expansion in length is called linear expansion. The expansion in area is
called area expansion. The expansion in volume is called volume expansion.

6. S
pecific heat capacity
It is defined as the amount of heat per unit mass absorbed or rejected by the
substance to change its temperature by one unit.
It depends on the nature of the substance and its temperature. The SI unit of
specific heat capacity is J kg–1 K–1.
If the amount of substance is expressed in moles, then the molar specific heat
capacity of the substance is given as

lower temperature, the heat lost by the hot bodyisequaltotheheatgainedby
the colder body, provided no heat is allowed to escape to the surroundings.
