Physics for IGCSE & O level - Thermal Effects (Section 2 - No. 41)
What is the effect of a high specific heat capacity on the energy needed to heat an object?
The amount of energy needed to heat the object decreases
The amount of energy needed to heat the object increases
The object cannot be heated
The object evaporates at a lower temperature
Paliwanag
The higher the specific heat capacity, the more energy is needed to increase its temperature by a certain amount.
