Changes

: The [[SI Unit]]s of '''specific heat capacity''' are J/kg°C.

: '''Specific heat capacity''' describes how easily the [[temperature]] of a [[material]] can be changed.

: [[Material]]s with a low '''specific heat capacity''' are generally good [[Thermal Conductor|thermal conductors]] and [[material]]s with a high '''specific heat capacity''' are generally good [[Thermal Insulator|thermal insulators]].

<math>c = \frac{E}{m \Delta \theta}</math>

<math>c</math> = The [[Specific Heat Capacity]] of the [[material]].

| style="height:20px; width:300px; text-align:center;" |A 989g block of [[metal]] is [[heat]]ed using an [[Immersion Heater|immersion heater]] from 24°C to 39°C. A [[Joulemeter]] connected to the [[Immersion Heater|immersion heater]] reads 13,000J. Calculate the '''specific heat capacity''' of the [[metal]] correct to two [[Significant Figures|significant figures]].
