specific heat capacity

Answer 1

1. The specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat absorbed by 1 kg of the material when its temperature increases by 1 °C.
2. Its S.I unit J/kg °C.
3. $C=\frac{Q}{m∆t}$

where c = specific heat capacity, Q = amount of heat absorbed , $∆t$=temperature increase.
