Specific Heat Capacity Flashcards

All 3 cards in this deck

What is the equation linking change in thermal energy, mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature?

ΔQ = m × c × Δθ, with ΔQ in J, m in kg, c in J/kg °C and Δθ in °C.

In a heating experiment, what equation gives the energy supplied by an electric heater from its power and the heating time?

E = P × t, with energy E in J, power P in W and time t in s.

What is the specific heat capacity of water?

4200 J/kg °C.
