Question

How heat capacity of a body is related to specific heat capacity of its substance ?

Answer 1

The heat capacity of a body is the quantity of energy needed to cause its temperature to change by $1^{o}C$ while the specific heat capacity of substance is the quantity of energy needed to change the temperature of $1kg$ of the substance by $1^{o}C$ and the relation between the two is

$Q=mc\Delta T$

where $m$ is mass in $kg$

$c$ is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the change in temprature

and $Q$ is the heat capacity of a given substance.
