Define the Specific Heat Capacity of a material. What is its unit?
This is the amount of energy needed to heat 1kg of the material by 1 degree: ENERGY to heat a MASS by a TEMPERATURE INCREASE.
Usingstandard units:Energyis in Joules [J]Massis in kilograms [kg]Temperaturein degrees Celcius [oC]
Thisis energy PER unit mass PER unit temperature difference(showin fraction with mass and dT on denominator)Sothe units must be J/kg oC
