Correct Answer - Option 3 :
\(\infty \)
CONCEPT:
- An isothermal process is a process in which the temperature does not change or ΔT =0
-
Specific Heat: The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a unit mass by one unit °C is called the specific heat of the material.
The heat required or lost to change the temperature of mass:
Q = msΔT
where Q is the heat required, m is the mass of the object, and s is the specific heat of the material, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
EXPLANATION:
Specific heat \(S = {\Delta Q\over \Delta T}\)
We know that for an isothermal process ΔT =0
\(S = {\Delta Q\over \Delta T} = {\Delta Q\over0} = \infty\)
- The Specific heat for the isothermal process is infinity.
- So the correct answer is option 3.
