विशिष्ट ऊष्मा धारिता

परिभाषा

किसी पदार्थ के 1 किग्रा का तापमान 1°C (या 1 K) बढ़ाने के लिए आवश्यक ऊर्जा की मात्रा।

व्याख्या

Water has an exceptionally high specific heat capacity of 4,186 J/(kg·K), which is why oceans moderate coastal climates and why water is used in radiators. By contrast, copper is only 385 J/(kg·K), meaning it heats and cools far more rapidly. This property governs everything from cooking times to engine cooling system design.
