QUANTITY OF HEAT
QUANTITY OF HEAT.
What is heat?. Heat is a form of energy that flows from one body to another due to temperature differences between them.
Heat capacity
Heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance by one degree Celsius or one Kelvin. It is denoted by ‘C’.
Heat capacity, C = heat absorbed, Q / temperature change θ.
The units of heat capacity are J / 0C or J / K.
