Heat Capacity Calculator
Calculate heat capacity from heat added and temperature change.
How to Use This Calculator
1
Enter heat q
Total heat added or removed.
2
Enter ΔT
Temperature change (K or °C difference).
3
Calculate C
Get heat capacity in J/K.
Formula
C = q / ΔT
Example: q=1000 J, ΔT=5 K → C=200 J/K
About Heat Capacity
Heat capacity is the energy required to change temperature by one kelvin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Difference vs specific heat?
Specific heat capacity is per mass (J/kg·K); heat capacity is total.
Can I use °C?
Yes, temperature differences in °C equal those in K.
