To find the S.I. unit of specific heat capacity, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define Specific Heat Capacity Specific heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Kelvin (or one degree Celsius). ### Step 2: Formula for Specific Heat Capacity The formula for specific heat capacity (S) can be expressed as: \[ S = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T} \] ...
