Physics for IGCSE & O level - Thermal Effects (Section 1 - No. 40)
How does the specific heat capacity of a substance relate to its ability to store thermal energy?
Directly proportional: higher heat capacity, more energy stored.
Inversely proportional: higher heat capacity, less energy stored.
No relationship: heat capacity doesn't affect energy storage.
The relationship is random.
Explicació
Higher specific heat capacity means a material can store more thermal energy for a given temperature change.
