What is the Heat Capacity Calculator?

The Heat Capacity Calculator helps students, engineers, and science enthusiasts determine the heat capacity of a substance, which is the amount of heat required to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius. By entering the heat added and the resulting temperature change, the tool calculates the heat capacity, ensuring accurate results for experiments, homework, or practical applications. This eliminates manual calculation errors and provides a quick way to understand how a material absorbs heat.

How to Use:

1. Enter Heat Added (Q, joules): Input the amount of heat supplied to the substance in joules.
2. Enter Temperature Change (ΔT, °C): Input the resulting change in temperature in degrees Celsius.
3. Click “Calculate”: The tool computes the heat capacity using the formula C=QΔTC = \frac{Q}{\Delta T}C=ΔTQ​.
4. Review Result: The output displays the calculated heat capacity in J/°C and ensures the entered values are valid and positive for accurate computation.
