Q. The heat $(Q)$ supplied to a solid, which is otherwise thermally isolated from its surroundings, is plotted as a function of its absolute temperature, $\theta$. It is found that they are related by the equation, $Q=a \theta^{2}+b \theta^{4}$. ( $a, b$ are constants). The heat capacity of the solid is :

Solution:

The heat capacity of the solid is :
$\frac{d Q}{d \theta}=2 a \theta+4 b \theta^{3}$
