- Heat is a form of energy that flows from a relatively warmer object to a relatively cooler object.
- Latent Heat: The amount of heat required to convert a unit mass of the solid into liquid without a change in temperature is called the latent heat of the material.
- 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.
EXPLANATION:
- The latent heat of a material is used to change the state of matter.
- The latent heat of a material does not increase the temperature of the matter.
- So Latent Heat is the amount of heat required to convert a unit mass of the solid into liquid without a change in temperature.
- Hence the correct answer is option 3.
