Specific Heat Capacity - Concept and Calculations
Offered By: Khan Academy via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the concept of specific heat capacity in this 14-minute educational video. Learn how different substances require varying amounts of heat energy to change their temperature. Understand the relationship between specific heat capacity, heat, mass, and temperature change through the equation q=cm∆T. Follow along as the video covers an introduction to the topic, defines specific heat capacity, explains the governing equation, and works through two practical examples. Discover why different substances have different specific heats, gaining valuable insights into thermal properties of materials. Enhance your understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer with this comprehensive breakdown of specific heat capacity.
