Question

Define Specific Heat Capacity in Detail!

Answer 1

Specific Heat Capacity (C) :

It's defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass (1 kg) of a substance by one degree.

If delta Q is the amount of heat required to change the temperature by delta T then specific heat capacity will be,

C = Q / m × T

SI unit : J / kg K

Amount if heat absorbed by a body of mass m having specific heat capacity C for a temperature

delta T is,

Q = m × C × T
