Q = mc∆T refers to Specific Heat formula.

When heat energy is added to a substance, the temperature will change by a certain amount.

The relationship between heat energy and temperature is different for every material, and the specific heat is a value that describes how they relate.

Q = mc∆T

Q = heat energy (Joules, J)

m = mass of a substance (kg)

c = specific heat (units J/kg∙K)

∆T = change in temperature (Kelvins, K)

The gold prices in India are determined according to the international market in the following way:

- The price of gold in USD is taken as a base price. Depending on the value of indian rupee as compared to USD (eg- 1 USD= ₹63), the price of gold is converted into rupees.
