Define heat capacity (or) thermal capacity ?

Explanation

Heat capacity or thermal capacity is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a body by `1^@C` . It is denoted by C. C=Q/t, where C. is the heat capacity. .Q. is the quantity of heat required and .t. is rise in temperature
SI unit of heat capacity is J/K. It is also expressed in `cal//^@C , kcal//^@C` or `J^@//C`.
