Specific heat capacity is that amount of heat which is required to raise the temperature of unit mass of the body by 1°C or 1K.

Explanation:

Significance of specific heat capacity is observed when we are required to supply certain amount of heat to a body in order to raise its temperature by certain amount. The amount of heat can be calculated by the given formulae...
#q=msDeltaT#
Where
#m=# mass of the substance
#s=# specific heat capacity of the material
#DeltaT=# change in the temperature of the body
#q=# heat required
