The specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases 1 K (or 1 °C), and its units are J/(kg K) or J/(kg °C). | The specific heat capacity is defined as the quantity of heat (J) absorbed per unit mass (kg) of the material when its temperature increases 1 K (or 1 °C), and its units are J/(kg K) or J/(kg °C). | ||

Basically, the higher the SHC the more heat energy need to raise the temperature in the material. | Basically, the higher the SHC the more heat energy need to raise the temperature in the material. | ||
