Specific Heat Capacity

Specific Heat Capacity

### Formula

$$c=\frac{Q}{m\Delta T}$$

### Terminologies

- c → Specific heat capacity.

- Q → Heat supplied.

- m → Mass.

- ΔT → Temperature change.

### SI Unit

$$Jkg^{-1}K^{-1}$$

### Dimensions

$$[c]=[L^2T^{-2}K^{-1}]$$

### Conditions / Special Cases

Higher specific heat means more heat required for same temperature change.

### Usage

- Used in thermal calculations.
