Heat capacity formula
Specific heat capacity
The amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1°C.
The use of specific heat capacity is a physical quantity
To compare the heat capacity of a given material of the same mass
The SI unit of specific heat capacity
J/kg/°C
The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J/kg/°C
4200J of heat energy is needed to change the temperature of 1kg water by 1°C
