What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
To Explain: The meaning of materials’ high or low specific heat capacity.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Specific heat capacity represents the quantity of heat energy essential to increase the temperature of a unit mass by a unit degree.
A material with high specific heat capacity heats up and cools down slowly as compared to the materials with low specific heat capacity.
