Specific Heat Capacity, often denoted as , is a measure of the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It quantifies the ability of a material to store thermal energy. The SI unit of Specific Heat Capacity is Joule per kilogram-kelvin (J/(kg·K)). The formula for Specific Heat Capacity () is given by:Â
Where:
- is the Specific Heat Capacity,
- is the heat energy transferred,Â
- is the mass of the substance,
- is the change in temperature.
