Determine the unit of specific heat capacity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Specific heat energy
`=("heat absorbed by an object")/("mass of the object "xx"rise in temperature of the object")`
`therefore ` Unit of specific heat capacity
`("unit of heat")/("unit of mass"xx"unit of temperature")`
In SI, heat is expressed in joule (J) , mass in kg and temperature in kelvin(K).
`therefore` SI unit of specific heat capacity `=(J)/(kg*K)` . Other units of specific heat capacity `: J//Kg^(@)C, erg//g^(@)*cal/g*^(@)C, kcal//kg.^(@)C)`.
