UnitConversion.onlineDefinition:
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius. It is measured in joules per degree Celsius (J/°C) and is essential in thermodynamics, engineering, and material science for understanding how substances respond to thermal energy.
Example Conversions:
- 1 joule per kelvin (J/K) = 1 J/°C
- 1 kilojoule per kilogram per kelvin (kJ/kg·K) = 1000 J/kg·K
- 1 calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal/g·°C) ≈ 4.184 J/g·°C
