Specific heat capacity

What the syllabus asks of you

• Know that a rise in the temperature of an object 2 Describe an increase in temperature of an increases its internal energy object in terms of an increase in the average kinetic energies of all of the particles in the object 3 Define specific heat capacity as the energy required per unit mass per unit temperature increase; recall and use the equation c = ∆E / m∆θ 4 Describe experiments to measure the specific heat capacity of a solid and a liquid
