Define specific heat capacity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 Kelvin or `1^(@)C`
`DeltaQ= msDeltaT`
Therefore `s= (1)/(m)(DeltaQ)/(DeltaT)`
The SI unit for specific heat capacity is J `kg^(-1)K^(-1)`
