q: In the equation q=mcΔT, q represents the amount of heat transferred. It is measured in joules (J).
Specific Heat Capacity:Specific heat capacity is a measure of how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree Celsius. It depends on the type of material.
Temperature Change: Temperature change refers to the difference in temperature between two points or states. It is denoted by ΔT.
