Thermal energy needed to raise 1 kg of material by 1°C
ΔE=m×c×Δθ\Delta E = m \times c \times \Delta \thetaΔE=m×c×Δθ
Change in thermal energy (J)
Mass (kg)
Specific heat capacity (J/kg°C)
Change in temperature (°C)
4200 J/kg°C
It needs lots of energy (high specific heat capacity)
They need less energy to heat up
Stops energy being wasted to surroundings
c=ΔEm×Δθc = \frac{\Delta E}{m \times \Delta \theta}c=m×ΔθΔE
900 J/kg°C
