Specific heat refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit mass of a substance by 1°C. materials with high specific heat require lots of heat to raise their temperature per unit mass while those with low specific heat absorb little heat energy per unit mass for the temperatures to rise
This knowledge is useful in that once you know the specific heat of a substance you can use in the following ways:
-Materials with low specific heat are used in making items that need to get heated quickly. Examples include cooking utensils and electric heaters.
-Materials with high specific heat such as wood and rubber are used in making electric and housing insulators.
