Specific heat capacity
is the amount of
energy
needed to
raise
the
temperature
of
1kg
of a substance by
1
degree C.
energy
(
J
) =
mass
(
kg
) x
specific heat capacity
(
J/kg°C
) ×
chance
in
temperature
(
°C
)
Energy
can be
transferred
usefully,
stored
or
dissipated.
But it can never be
created
or
destroyed.
power
