Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius.

ΔE = Q - W

Energy is the capacity to do work. It is a scalar quantity and is measured in units of joules (J). Specific heat is the amount of heat required

Energy can be transferred from one body to another through heat, work, or a combination of both. Specific heat is the amount of heat required

where ΔE is the change in energy, Q is the heat added to the system, and W is the work done by the system. Specific heat is the amount of heat required

The energy balance equation is given by:
