10.1 Specific Heat Capacity
Specific Heat Capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to be given to $1\ kg$ of a substance to raise its temperature by ${1^o}C$ or $1K$.
$${C_s} = \frac{{\Delta Q}}{{m\Delta T}}$$
where,
${C_s}$ =Specific Heat Capacity of Material
$Q$= Heat
$T$= Temperature
$m$= Mass of given substance
