What is the definition of Specific Heat?

Back

Specific Heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1ºC.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Thermal Energy?

Back

Q = m * C * ΔT, where Q is thermal energy, m is mass, C is specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
