Thermal capacity is the amount of heat required to rise the temperature of a specific quantity of substance by one degree. S.I unit is joule/kelvin.

Chemicalabdul said:   1 decade ago
Thermal heat = mass times specific heat capacity, i.e. both the temperature and the mass are proportional to the quantity of heat in the experiment.

Manpreet said:   7 years ago
The Correct answer is A because here given that have to increase 1k temperature.

Thermal capacity is just the change of temperature.

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).

If it is increased by 1 Kelvin then it is thermal capacity.

If it's increased by 1-degree celsius then it is specific heat.

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.

What is the difference between thermal heat capacity and specific heat?

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

Angela said:   9 years ago
I have a little confusion now, please describe it clearly.
