Physics Form 4: Chapter 4 - Specific Heat Capacity

Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of energy (in Joules) needed to increase the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree Celsius




Different material have different specific heat capacity value

High specific heat capacity ===> good insulator of heat
Low specific heat capactiy ===> good conductor of heat
