What is the amount of heat and what does it depend on?

1) What is the amount of heat and what does it depend on? 2) What units of quantity of heat do you know? 3) Does the amount of heat imparted to the body depend on the method of heat transfer?

1. The amount of energy (heat) transferred to the body. Depends on body weight, its specific thermal conductivity and the difference between the final and initial body temperatures.

2. The amount of heat is a measure of energy, so you can use units such as joule, kilowatt-hour, watt-hour.

3. Yes, it does. It depends on the efficiency of heat transfer from the source of thermal energy to its receiver (body). The most efficient heat transfer is achieved through thermal conductivity, i.e. through the direct contact of two bodies, then there is convection and radiation.
