Question

Distinguish about the heat capacity C and specific heat capacity c of a body. How are they related ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Heat capacity is the ratio of the amount of heat energy transferred to an object to the resulting increase in its temperature. ... Specific heat capacity is a measure of the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of one gram of a pure substance by one degree K.

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference between specific heat and heat capacity is the difference of mass in the calculation. Both of them are defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature but, in specific heat, the capacity is calculated per unit mass of a substance.
