SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY
The specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of heat energy required by that material to raise its temperature by 1⁰c. Denoted by c.
Unit - J/kg⁰c
Equation to fin specific heat capacity (c) = heat energy(E)/mass of material (m) x change in temperature (ΔT)
C = E/mΔT
From this equation,
Heat energy required or absorbed by a body to change it temperature can be found if it’s specific heat capacity is provided using equation
H = mcΔT
