- 1What does SHC tell us?How much energy an object can store
- 2What materials can store a lot of heat?Materials which need to gain a lot of energy to warm up and release a lot of energy to cool down
- 3What is the formula for SHC?E=m x c x Temperature change
- 4Give two reasons why water is ideal for central heating systems.1) Its a liquid so can be umped around easily
2) It has a high specific heat capacity
