Specific Heat Capacity
- To know how to measure specific heat capacity.
- To be able to carry out an experiment safely.
- To know that temperature is a measure of Thermal energy.
Aim: To measure heat capacity in different metals.
Theory: Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy needed to increase the temperature of a material or substance. It is energy needed to raise the temperature of a material or substance by 1oC, in other words, 1K.
