What is thermal capacity?

Yanzkie said:   8 years ago
I think the answer should be specific heat.

Rahul said:   9 years ago
I don't know the correct meaning of thermal. Anybody explain it.

Shivaranjani said:   9 years ago
Thermal capacity also referred as heat capacity it is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of an object by a certain degree.

On the other hand, specific heat capacity also referred to as the specific heat of a material, is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of an object per unit mass of that object.

I have a little confusion now, please describe it clearly.

Laxmi said:   2 decades ago
Please give me explaination about thermal capacity.

Prrithy said:   10 years ago
Thermal capacity of body substances 1 kg quantity of energy. So the answer is thermal capacity.

Prrithy said:   10 years ago
Specific heat of human body compared to substances like protein and wood.

Pooja said:   10 years ago
Here the answer should be Specific Heat: Heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by given amount (usually one degree).

Shristi said:   1 decade ago
The thermal capacity of a body is defined as the amount of heat required to raise temperature of the body by 1 kelvin.

Mathematically, C=ms.
Where, m=mass of the body.
s=specific heat capacity.
