The correct answer is
joules

Heat Supplied Measurement Unit

Heat supplied to a system represents the transfer of energy. The standard international (SI) unit for energy, and therefore for heat transfer, is the Joule.

Understanding Measurement Units

Let's analyze the given options:

  • Joules (J): The SI unit of energy, work, and heat. This is the correct unit for measuring heat supplied.
  • Degrees Kelvin (K): The SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature. It measures how hot or cold something is, not the amount of heat energy transferred.
  • Amperes (A): The SI unit of electric current. It measures the flow rate of electric charge.
  • Kilowatts (kW): A unit of power, which is the rate at which energy is transferred or used (1 kilowatt = 1000 Joules per second). While related to heat transfer rates, it's not the unit for the total heat supplied itself.

Therefore, heat supplied to a system is measured in Joules.
