Understanding Specific Heat Capacity
The quantity of heat energy required to raise the temperature by \(1\,^0\text{C}\).
The heat energy required to raise the temperature of \(1\text{ kg}\) by \(1\,^0\text{C}\) or \(1\text{ K}\)
where \(Q\) = energy, \(m\) = mass, \(c\) = specific heat capacity, \(\Delta\theta\) = change in temperature
